1948 Map of Crown King

About this map

Crown King Mine and dozens of associated workings dominate this mid-century survey of the high Bradshaw Mountains. The map serves as a dense inventory of hard-rock mining activity, featuring the Gladiator Mines, Lincoln Mine, and Tiber Mine clustered around the settlement of Crown King. These operations are connected by the Senator Hwy, winding through high elevations near Towers Mtn and the Crown King Ranger Sta. To the west, the landscape transitions into the drainage basins of Minnehaha Creek and Cherry Creek, where smaller outposts like Minnehaha and Paxton Place once supported local prospectors. The presence of the Horsethief Basin Recreation Area and various Forest Camps indicates the early 20th-century shift toward forest management and public recreation within the Prescott National Forest, even as active shafts like the Pacific Mine remained prominent features on the terrain.
