The San Francisco Mountains define this landscape, a center of intensive mineral extraction as documented in this 1980s field check. High-altitude mining operations are densely clustered along the eastern slopes, with the Horn Silver Mine, Cactus Mine, and Imperial Mine marking significant industrial sites. The settlement of Frisco and the nearby Frisco Summit are surrounded by a legacy of prospects, adits, and kilns, while the Cem south of town provides a silent record of the boom-era population. To the west, the terrain transitions into the Wah Wah Valley, where the settlement of Newhouse and Antelope Springs sit at the base of the range. This map is particularly valuable for its detail on water sources in an arid environment, noting features like Squaw Spring and the drainage patterns of Copper Gulch and Loeber Gulch.
