1967 Map of Hackberry Mtn.

About this map

Hackberry Mtn and the surrounding high country of central Arizona are documented here during the mid-1960s, revealing a landscape defined by water management and topography. This area, split between the Coconino National Forest and Tonto National Forest, shows a sophisticated network of upland water features including Nine and a Half Mile Tank, Tenmile Tank, and Wire Corral Tank. The presence of an Aqueduct and Flume near the southern border indicates the importance of water transport in this arid environment. Significant natural landmarks like Needle Rock and The Rocks stand out among the complex drainages of Sycamore Canyon and Dorens Defeat Canyon. The map also captures the boundary where Yavapai Co and Gila Co meet, a key point for local history researchers tracing jurisdictional lines across the Cimarron Hills and Towel Peaks.
