1943 Map of Diamond Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Tonto National Forest dominates this mid-century survey of the Gila County high country, revealing a landscape defined by isolated ranches and rugged mountain peaks. Settlement is sparse, characterized by individual outposts such as Vaughn Ranch, Lazear Ranch, and the Old Rock House in the northwest. The drainage of Tonto Creek and its many tributaries, including Walnut Creek and Pigeon Creek Canyon, carve deep through the terrain near landmarks like Diamond Butte and McDonald Mtn. Local history is preserved in the names of remote dwellings and camps, from the Fred Pranty Cabin to the Flying W Ranch. This topography reflects the early 20th-century cattle and ranching economy of central Arizona before modern infrastructure reached these canyons, as seen in the proximity of names like Robbers Roost Mtn and Buzzard Roost Camp.
