1965 Map of Cave Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Black Mountain Summit dominates the central landscape of this Maricopa County survey, providing a sharp topographical anchor for the growing desert communities of Cave Creek and Carefree. The map illustrates the transition from a remote mining and ranching frontier toward a residential and recreational hub in the mid-1960s. Mining history remains visible through sites like the Mormon Girl Mine and White Eagle Mine, while newer developments such as the Desert Forest Golf Course and a Heliport signal the area's modernization. Significant recreational footprints appear at the Cave Creek Recreation Area, which borders the rugged drainage of Go John Canyon. Further east, the Tonto National Forest boundary marks the edge of the wilderness, and local genealogy is anchored by the Cave Creek Cemetery located just off Carefree Airport Road.
