1947 Map of Bumblebee

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mining operations and remote Yavapai County outposts define this mid-century survey of the Bradshaw Mts. In the late 1940s, the extraction of precious and base metals remained a driving force in this landscape, evidenced by the Bi-Metals Mine, Howard Silver Mine, and Howard Copper Mine. The settlement of Bumblebee serves as a central hub along Bumblebee Creek, while Poland sits in the northwest corner, connected to the surrounding terrain by a telephone line and primitive roads. Much of the land is contained within the Prescott National Forest, where steep drainages like Black Canyon, Mexican Gulch, and Rattlesnake Canyon create a complex topography. Local landmarks like Cordes Cabin and numerous water sources such as Govt Spr and Bill Arp Creek provided essential points of reference for ranchers and miners navigating the high desert of Black Mesa.
