1964 Map of Maverick Mountain

About this map

Bartlett Reservoir and the Verde River anchor the northwestern corner of this mid-century desert landscape, where water resources were carefully managed within the Tonto National Forest. The map documents a network of vital water sources in an arid environment, including Chinatown Spring, Indian Spring, and Maverick Spring, which supported cattle ranching and travel through the high desert. To the southeast, the small settlement of Camp Creek and the Dos S Ranch sit near Sycamore Creek, illustrating the sparse but strategic human presence in the region. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Maverick Mountain, Indian Spring Peak, and Granite Mountain, separated by deep drainage systems such as Maverick Canyon and Log Corral Canyon. Multiple Jeep Trails wind through the topography, connecting remote landmarks like Round Butte and Red Mountain.
