1949 Map of McFadden Peak

About this map

McFadden Pk and the high ridges of the Tonto National Forest dominate this landscape, revealing a remote territory defined by early ranching, mining, and forestry research. The map illustrates a network of scattered homesteads and specialized outposts like the P B Ranch and Rock House Ranch, alongside the Parker Creek Experiment Sta. These sites, connected by the Young Highway, reflect the mid-century transition of central Arizona from an isolated frontier to a managed forest resource area.
