1947 Map of Mt. Union

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Mt Union and the surrounding high country of the Prescott National Forest are depicted here during a period of active mountain settlement and recreation in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by its mining legacy, with numerous operations like the Butternut Mine and Cash Mine dotting the drainages of Big Bug Creek and Lynx Creek. Social and institutional presence is particularly concentrated near Groom Creek, where a cluster of sites including the Phoenix YMCA Camp, Girl Scout Camp, and Baptist Assembly sit adjacent to Goldwater Lake. This map reveals a community structured around both resource extraction and seasonal reprieve, with small settlements like Walker and Venezia connected by a network of trails and unimproved roads through the rugged topography of Big Bug Mesa.
