2023 Map of Governors Peak

About this map

Castle Hot Springs and the surrounding desert landscape of Yavapai County define this modern topographic survey, where the Bradshaw Mountains foothills give way to the rising waters of Lake Pleasant. The map captures a rugged interior punctuated by namesake summits like Governors Peak and Salvation Peak, alongside the protected reaches of the Hells Canyon Wilderness. Historically significant water sources, including Hot Spring, Alkali Spring, and Mitchell Spring, remain vital landmarks in a terrain carved by French Creek and Cow Creek. In the southern reaches, the boundary between Yavapai and Maricopa counties cuts through the Hieroglyphic Mountains near the modern northern fringes of Peoria. This document traces the essential road network connecting these remote sites, from Castle Hot Springs Road to the winding paths of Cougars Run and Table Mesa Road.
