2004 Map of Mazatzal Peak

About this map

Mazatzal Peak dominates the high-elevation terrain of the Mazatzal Mountains, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep drainage systems. This 2004 revision of earlier 1965 topography shows the remote character of the Mazatzal Wilderness within the Tonto National Forest, where water management is critical to the local geography. The map documents numerous hydrologic features, from Horse Camp Seep and Boone Moore Spring to cattle-related improvements like Suicide Tank No 2 and Table Top Tank. A complex network of historic routes, including the Mazatzal Divide Trail and Davenport Trail, provides access to high-country points like Sandy Saddle and Mount Peeley. Remnants of human presence are noted at Chilson Camp and Gowan Camp, which mark the sparse settlement pattern of this Yavapai and Gila county borderland.
