1979 Map of Limestone Peak

About this map

Limestone Peak dominates the northwestern high ground of this Arizona landscape, marking the transition from the upland woods of the Prescott National Forest into the open expanse of the Big Chino Valley. This 1970s survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, where the survival of cattle and game depends on a network of scattered resources like Fritsche Well, Quartz Well, and Indian Well. A complex drainage system including Walnut Creek and Pine Creek cuts through the terrain, while Antelope Dam captures runoff along the Antelope Wash. These named wells and springs represent vital landmarks for local history, tracing the early ranching and forestry efforts that shaped Yavapai County. A lone Jeep Trail and various washes like Quartz Lead Wash provide the primary routes through this otherwise unpopulated and demanding territory.
