About this map

Daisy Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Maricopa County are documented here during a period of modern expansion at the forest edge. The map highlights a landscape defined by its transition from the steep terrain of the Tonto National Forest and North Mountain to the burgeoning residential developments appearing south of Table Mountain. This intersection of wilderness and growth is marked by several water sources critical to the arid region, including Soda Springs, Corral Springs, and Shoemaker Spr.

Tracing the historical economic activity of the area, the map identifies the Daisy Mine and numerous prospects scattered along the slopes of Gavilan Peak and Pyramid Peak. While new residential grids and Athletic Fields indicate 21st-century suburbanization, the persistent presence of scattered corrals and named wells like King Well and Moore Well speaks to the area's longer history of ranching and remote mountain living.
