About this map

Little Horn Peak dominates this section of the Big Horn Mountains, where a rugged landscape is marked by a legacy of prospecting and heavy mining operations. This 1990 survey captures a dense network of mining sites, including the El Tigre Mine, Apache Mine, and the Mollie Devanport Mine. The distribution of these labels alongside numerous Mine Shafts and Open Pit Mine symbols indicates an era of intensive extraction throughout the desert terrain.

To the south, the topography transitions into the relatively level expanse of the Harquahala Plain. While the higher elevations are characterized by named claims such as the Gold Bullion Mine and Evening Star Mine, the eastern edge is defined by the drainage of Pump Wash. This map provides a clear record of the industrial footprint left by miners seeking various minerals in the arid Maricopa County interior.
