1964 Map of New River SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Apache Peak and the surrounding high ground of the Union Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Maricopa County area, dropping down into the broad expanse of northern Paradise Valley. The 1964 survey captures a desert environment defined by water management and topography, where the drainage of Skunk Creek and Apache Wash dictates the layout of the land. Scattered water sources, critical for cattle ranching or early habitation, are meticulously recorded, including Jims Spring, Apache Spring, and various man-made catchments like Desert Lake Tank and Purcell Tank. Evidence of localized activity is found at the Gravel Pit and isolated outposts such as Bentley Well and East Joy Well. The map also traces a network of rugged transportation, notably a Jeep Trail winding through the northern peaks near Gunsight, illustrating the mid-century accessibility of this arid terrain.
