About this map

The Bradshaw Mountains of Yavapai County dominate this landscape, centered on the mining settlement of Crown King. This area within the Prescott National Forest reveals a complex network of historic mountain roads and trails, such as the S Senator Hwy and Wagoner Tri, which reflect the region's long connection to mineral extraction and high-altitude ranching. The presence of Bradshaw City Cem near the site of Bradshaw City serves as a reminder of the short-lived gold rushes that once populated these slopes.

The terrain is deeply etched by drainages like Peck Canyon and Humbug Cr, while significant peaks such as Towers Mtn and Wasson Peak provide prominent landmarks. Named sites like Fort Misery and Lukes Hoist Divide speak to the local character of the early pioneers and miners. The map also documents recreation and infrastructure around Horsethief Basin, where the modern trail system intersects with legacy sites from the territory's earlier industry.
