2011 Map of Copperopolis

About this map

Lehman Mill and the mountain that shares its name dominate this section of Yavapai County, where the desert landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named springs. The settlement of Copperopolis sits near the headwaters of Copperopolis Creek, indicating the area's mining history and its reliance on scattered water sources like Bradshaw Spring and Harry Knight Spring. Further south, the map identifies curious local landmarks such as The Rockhouse and The Doghouse, which sit among several notable landforms including Thoma Butte and Evans Butte. Transport in the region is facilitated by rural routes like Buckhorn Ranch Rd, connecting these remote outposts to the Buckhorn Mountains and the winding course of Castle Creek. The map provides a detailed account of the riparian geography, from Walker Gulch to the seasonal flows of Black Butte Wash and Whipsaw Creek.
