1964 Map of Governors Peak

About this map

Castle Hot Springs serves as a primary landmark in this high-desert landscape, located just below the peaks of Salvation Peak and Governors Peak. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral waterways, including Castle Creek and Humbug Creek, which flow southward toward the Agua Fria River and the expanding waters of Lake Pleasant. The presence of Petroglyphs in the northern canyons near Tule Creek and the southern Hieroglyphic Mountains indicates a long history of human movement through these drainages.
