About this map

The Bradshaw Mountains anchor this mining-rich landscape within the Prescott National Forest, centered on the historic settlement of Crown King. The map reveals a dense network of extraction sites including the Gladiator Mine, War-Eagle Mine, and Tiger Mine, connected by primitive roads and the Senator Highway. The industrial heritage of the late sixties is balanced by public recreation areas such as Horsethief Lake and Hazlett Hollow Campground.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Bradshaw City (Site), the site of a former gold mining town, along with its associated Bradshaw City Cem. The presence of isolated habitations like Fort Misery and Kentucks Cabin, along with the Kentucks Grave, provides a glimpse into the localized human history of this mountain region. Numerous springs, such as Whiskey Spring and Perkins Tunnel Spring, highlight the essential water sources that sustained these remote operations.
