1964 Map of Four Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains dominate this mid-century survey, forming a high divide within the Tonto National Forest along the border of Maricopa and Gila Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of Four Peaks, including the prominent Browns Peak, which serves as a major regional landmark. The distribution of numerous water sources, such as Amethyst Spring, Chillicut Spring, and Black Bear Spring, illustrates the critical importance of localized water for livestock or mining operations in this arid high-country environment. Human presence is marked by scattered structures like Three Bar Cabin and the former Soldier Camp, while access is restricted to rugged routes like El Oso Road and the Mazatzal Divide Trail. The mapping of several Prospect sites near Boulder Canyon suggests the era's ongoing mineral interest in the remote canyons and ridges of the Wata Ridges.
