1947 Map of Bumblebee

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mining operations and remote ranching outposts define this 1940s landscape within the Prescott National Forest and the eastern slopes of the Bradshaw Mts. High-desert terrain is marked by a legacy of extraction, evidenced by the Thunderbolt Mine, Howard Silver Mine, and Howard Copper Mine. The small settlement of Bumblebee sits nestled along Bumblebee Creek, supported by several windmills and connected to the wider world by a telephone line. Further south, Cordes Cabin serves as a lone landmark in a network of deep drainage systems like Black Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. This era shows the region before modern development, where water sources like Sheep Spr and Mud Spr were critical for livestock and survival in the Yavapai backcountry.
