USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Payson sits at the northern end of this mid-1930s survey, surrounded by a landscape defined by cattle ranching and deep-mountain prospecting. The map records a dense concentration of mining operations east of town, including the Silver King Mine, Wonder Mine, and Pay Rock Mine, along with the industrial footprint of Vans Mill. To the south, the Bush Highway winds through the Tonto National Forest, passing isolated outposts like the Rye Creek Store and family-named landmarks such as the Mc Cormack Ranch and Taylor Ranch.
