1962 Map of Eagletail Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Eagletail Mountains dominate this high-desert corridor of Western Arizona, bisected by the county line between Yuma and Maricopa. The map highlights a landscape shaped by mining and cattle-grazing interests during the mid-century era, featuring the Double Eagle Mine tucked into the slopes near Double Eagle Peak and the Yellow Breast Mine further south. Notable geological landmarks like the towering Courthouse Rock and a Natural Arch provide essential orientation in a terrain otherwise defined by dry washes like Centennial Wash and Nottbusch Wash. The network of Jeep Trails and the Deadman Trail suggest the era's reliance on rugged access for ranching and mineral exploration across Cemetery Ridge and the Harquahala Plain. Local landmarks such as Clanton Well and various unnamed water tanks illustrate the critical importance of water management in this arid environment.
