1971 Map of McDowell Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mc Dowell Peak stands as the central landmark of this 1971 orthophotomosaic, providing a detailed photographic record of the desert terrain in Maricopa County. Unlike standard topographic sheets, this aerial perspective captures the complex shadows and geological formations of the Pinnacle Peak area and surrounding highlands with photographic clarity. This view reveals the undisturbed landscape of the early 1970s, showing the natural drainage patterns and scrub vegetation before significant suburban expansion reached this portion of the Arizona desert. The map is particularly useful for visualizing the specific rocky outcrops and landforms that have historically defined this region's physical character.
