2011 Map of Mazatzal Peak

About this map

Mazatzal Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Arizona, where steep ridgelines and deep canyons define the drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a network of seasonal water sources and livestock management points essential for mountain use, including Barnhardt Tank, Suicide Tank, and Y Bar Tanks. Human activity is primarily centered around seasonal camps and backcountry access, with locations like Chilson Camp, Gowan Camp, and Windsor Camp providing historic points of reference for researchers and hikers. The presence of established access points such as the Barnhardt Trailhead and Peeley Trailhead underscores the area's role as a gateway to the high mesas. Terrain features like Fisher Mesa and Barnhardt Mesa are cut by complex washes such as Boone Moore Wash and Clover Wash, showing the intricate erosion patterns of the Mazatzal Range.
