1969 Map of Minnehaha

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Minnehaha sits within the high-elevation mining country of the Bradshaw Mountains and the Mc Allister Range, a landscape deeply marked by the quest for minerals during the late 1960s. This survey of the Prescott National Forest reveals a complex network of resource extraction and water management, including the Camp Bird Mine, Silver Dollar Mine, and the Chilean Mill. The presence of numerous developed springs such as Minnehaha Waters and Black Jack Spring, alongside cattle-related infrastructure like the ML Windmill, suggests a dual-use landscape where ranching coexisted with heavy prospecting. Remote outposts like Paxton Place and Indian Springs Camp are connected only by a rugged system of jeep trails and pack trails, illustrating the area's isolation from major thoroughfares. The terrain is characterized by massive features like Silver Mountain and the high Hooper Saddle, which defined the movements of miners and ranchers alike.
