About this map

Luis Maria Baca Float No 5 dominates the northwestern portion of this mid-1980s terrain, reflecting the complex history of Spanish and Mexican land grants in the Arizona Territory. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Santa Maria Mountains and Connell Mountains, where water sources like Apache Springs and Bear Trap Spring were critical for livestock and forestry operations.

Remote outposts and features like the Hyde Mtn Lookout Tower and Camp Wood underscore the area's role within the Prescott National Forest. Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by small named locations such as Stringtown and a network of named livestock tanks including McElhaney Tank and Pasture No 3 Tank. This survey captures a moment when traditional land use—centered on springs and seasonal drainages like Stubbs Gulch—persisted alongside modern forest management.
