1969 Map of Morgan Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mining operations and remote claims dominate this arid landscape of Yavapai County during the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the Hassayampa River and Buckskin River cutting through a network of peaks, including Morgan Butte and Swallow Mountain. A high concentration of historic lode and placer mining sites are scattered throughout the hills, ranging from the well-known Monte Cristo Mine and Gold Bar Mine to smaller prospects near Crown Point Gulch. Local transportation relies heavily on a complex system of jeep trails and pack trails that connect isolated camps like Roberts Camp to the more established Constellation Road. Evidence of early surveying and mineral claims is preserved through several Mineral Survey landmarks such as Uslm 2489 and Uslm 1477. The presence of a cemetery near Solomon Gulch suggests a once-permanent community associated with the King Solomon Mine.
