About this map

The Black Hills of Yavapai County dominate this mid-1970s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by ranching, mining, and timber management. High-elevation landmarks like Hickey Mountain and Woodchute Mtn are surrounded by the deep drainage of Martin Canyon and Haywood Canyon. Evidence of the region’s industrial history is visible at the Jerome Grande Shaft and the Yaeger Mine, the latter located near the Yaeger Pack Trail.

Lower elevations and recreational zones are represented by the Mingus Mountain Recreation Area and the Potato Patch campground. Local settlement history is anchored by the Mingus Springs Ranch and a Cem near Mescal Gulch. This map traces the transition from active extraction to national forest recreation, marked by numerous water features like Butterfly Spring and Mingus Lake that sustain the high desert environment.
