2021 Map of Copperopolis

About this map

Copperopolis and Briggs occupy a landscape defined by industrial history and drainage systems in this modern survey of Yavapai County. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and springs that once supported local mining operations, most notably at the Lehman Mill located beneath the slopes of Lehman Mtn. Steep topography is punctuated by distinctive formations such as The Rockhouse, The Doghouse, and the narrow passage of The Box along Castle Cr. Travel through this region relies on established routes like Castle Creek Rd and Buckhorn Rd, which navigate the high ground between Silver Mtn and the Buckhorn Mountains. The map reveals a land of high-elevation peaks and deeply cut washes, including Black Butte Wash and Dugan Wash, providing a clear record of the watershed's relationship to the surrounding summits like Evans Butte and Thoma Butte.
