1947 Map of Crown King

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Crown King and the surrounding high-altitude mining districts are captured here during a transition from an industrial extraction economy to a mid-century recreational landscape. The map reveals an incredible density of hard-rock mines, including the Crown King Mine, Oro Belle Mine, and Gladiator Mines, which once fueled the local economy. These sites are clustered along the steep drainages of the Bradshaw Mountains, accessible by the winding Senator Hwy. The presence of the Crown King Ranger Sta and the Horsethief Basin Recreation Area indicates the area's growing importance for public land management and mountain getaways by the late 1940s. Beyond the larger camps, smaller named locations like Paxton Place, Minnehaha, and the provocatively named Fort Misery provide specific targets for local history research, showing the scattered nature of early Arizona mountain settlements.
