1952 Map of Montezuma Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Sierra Estrella dominates this landscape, rising sharply from the desert floor along the border of Maricopa and Pinal counties. Much of the eastern terrain lies within the Gila River Indian Reservation, where the Santa Cruz Wash and Vekol Wash converge as they move toward the Gila River. Human activity is concentrated along the river valley and the foothills, evidenced by St Catherines Ch and a nearby Cem. The map reveals a history of resource extraction tucked into the northern ridges, where a Mica Quarry and several Prospects or individual Prospect sites mark the slopes. Agricultural infrastructure is visible in the northeast through the Hoover Ditch, while the peaks themselves carry evocative names such as Montezuma Peak, Montezumas Head, and Montezuma Sleeping, reflecting the cultural significance of these prominent landforms.
