1973 Map of Butterfield Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Butterfield Stage Route cuts through the desert landscape of the Maricopa Mountains, following a historic path used by travelers long before modern infrastructure reached this part of Arizona. The map highlights the intersection of nineteenth-century overland travel and twentieth-century industrial transit, with the Southern Pacific Road running along the southern edge of the mountains. This rail line supported small stops like Shawmut and Estrella (Siding), which served as critical points in an otherwise arid expanse.
