1978 Map of Limestone Peak

About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates the western half of this 1970s landscape, where the rugged terrain of Limestone Peak gives way to the open reaches of the Chino Valley. This survey, updated just before the late 20th-century growth in the region, reveals a sparse ranching and grazing environment defined by its water sources. Essential infrastructure for local land use is marked by numerous named water points including Fritsche Well, Quartz Well, and Indian Well. Drainage patterns are clearly delineated through the winding courses of Walnut Creek, Antelope Wash, and Quartz Lead Wash. A single Jeep Trail provides one of the few managed routes through this arid section of Yavapai County, highlighting the isolation of the area during this period of the late 1970s.
