1979 Map of Iron Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Iron Springs sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a hub for the various springs and water sources that define the region west of Prescott. The terrain is dominated by the steep rises of the Sierra Prieta and peaks such as Granite Mountain and West Spruce Mtn. This area in the late 1970s shows a mix of recreational and industrial use, with the Girl Scout Camp and Granite Basin Picnic Area positioned near the heights, while the Boston Arizona Mine and several Borrow Pits suggest a history of resource extraction. The presence of an Old RR Grade winding through the hills near Willow Creek points to the area's former transportation network, now largely replaced by access roads for the Prescott National Forest. Notable landmarks like Thumb Butte and Williams Peak provide orientation across the network of washes and canyons including Iron Springs Wash.
