1964 Map of Four Peaks

About this map

The Mazatzal Mountains define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Gila and Maricopa counties. Dominated by the iconic Four Peaks, including the high point at Browns Peak, the terrain is marked by a complex network of springs and canyons within the Tonto National Forest. Water sources like Amethyst Spring, Cienega Spring, and Bumblebee Creek reveal the essential hydrology required for survival in this arid environment. Evidence of human presence is found at the historic Three Bar Cabin and the site of Soldier Camp, while several named prospects indicate the area's mineral interest. High ridges such as The Wata Ridges and Buckhorn Ridge are traversed by legacy routes like the Mazatzal Divide Tr and the Soldier Camp Trail, reflecting a history of backcountry travel and ranching activity before the modern era.
