1973 Map of Munds Draw

About this map

Woodchute Mountain and the southern reach of the Black Hills dominate this high-desert landscape within the Prescott National Forest. The 1973 survey reveals a territory defined by complex topography, from the heights of Little Black Mesa down through the winding Munds Draw. The map documents a rugged water-management network essential for ranching and forestry, including the China Dam Tank, Honey Bee Tank, and the Horse Camp Tanks. Industrial activity is concentrated at the southern edge of the quadrangle, where the Haynes Shaft, a Strip Mine, and several Quarries indicate the area's mineral importance. Traces of historical movement and infrastructure are preserved through labels like the Narrow Gauge Tank and the Section House Spring, suggesting the transit corridors that once supported local mining and livestock operations.
