1947 Map of Iron Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Granite Mountain dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where the Prescott National Forest creates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous seasonal water sources. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad winds through the southwestern valleys, connecting the settlement of Skull Valley to the highland community of Iron Springs. This mid-century survey captures an era of active cattle ranching and mineral exploration, evidenced by established holdings like Bar U Bar Ranch and Rancho Moana alongside the Boston-Arizona Mine. The presence of the Tonto Springs Ranger Sta and the Granite Basin Recreation Area highlights the dual role of the land for federal resource management and public leisure. Small, scattered springs such as Whiskey Spr and Tonto Spr reveal the vital water network necessary for life in this arid Arizona environment.
