1973 Map of Butterfield Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Butterfield Stage Route corridors trace the historic passage through the Maricopa Mountains, following the same natural gaps used by mid-19th-century mail carriers. The terrain centers on Butterfield Pass, a critical waypoint for travelers navigating the arid landscape between water sources like Conley Tank and Fortymile Desert Tank. Evidence of early overland travel is preserved through labels for the Desert Station (Site) and the Butterfield Trail Campsite, providing specific locations for historians and archaeologists studying the Gila Trail's legacy.
