1964 Map of Governors Peak

About this map

Castle Hot Springs sits at the heart of this desert landscape, surrounded by the dramatic terrain of the Hieroglyphic Mountains. The map reveals a land of hidden water sources and ancient history, evidenced by the noted Petroglyphs near Tule Creek and the numerous springs like Alkali Spring and Mud Spring that dot the arid basins. To the southeast, the rising waters of Lake Pleasant and the Agua Fria River define the boundary between Yavapai and Maricopa counties.
