1964 Map of Maverick Mountain

About this map

The Verde River corridor anchors this mid-century survey of the Arizona interior, dominated by the waters of the Bartlett Reservoir. This landscape is defined by its network of springs and canyons within the Tonto National Forest, where a sparse human presence is marked by the Dos S Ranch and evidence of local industry at a quarry near the western shore. The map reveals a rugged topography of named peaks like Maverick Mountain and Granite Mountain, interconnected by numerous jeep trails that follow historical water routes. The naming conventions, including Chinatown Spring and Log Corral, reflect the region's ranching and frontier history. Resource management is evident through the widespread distribution of watering sites such as Carlock Tank and Ryan Tank, essential for sustaining life in the arid terrain between Indian Spring Peak and the reservoir.
