1969 Map of Bumble Bee

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mining claims and rugged canyon landscapes dominate this late-1960s survey of the Bradshaw Mountains. The settlement of Bumble Bee serves as a central point in a region defined by its rich mineral history, evidenced by the numerous named workings such as the Bimetals Mine, Roosevelt Mine, and the Howard Silver Mine. The terrain is deeply incised by the Black Canyon, where Bumble Bee Creek and Poison Creek converge, creating a complex network of gulches and ridges within the Prescott National Forest. Notable landmarks like Sunset Point and the Black Mesa overlook the transition from historical pack trails and jeep tracks to the modern infrastructure of the Sunset Point Interchange. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the location of isolated sites like the Castle Creek Cabin and numerous family-named landmarks like Bill Arp and Bland Hill.
