1964 Map of New River

About this map

The Yavapai Co Maricopa Co boundary line divides a high-desert landscape defined by complex river systems and seasonal springs. In the eastern corridor, the settlement of New River is established along its namesake waterway, featuring the New River Sch and a Gaging Sta. The western portion of the area is dominated by the Agua Fria River, which flows into Lake Pleasant within the Lake Pleasant Regional Park. Human presence across this arid terrain is marked by diverse landmarks, from the Ruins on Indian Mesa to the Little Grand Canyon Rancho further north. Reliable water sources like Whiskey Spring and Sweat Spr provide essential points of interest in a region of prominent elevations, including Wild Burro Mesa and the distinctive Gavilan Peak.
