1947 Map of Picacho Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates the eastern half of this terrain, while the western landscape is defined by the broad drainage of Chino Wash. Ranching and water management are the primary themes of this mid-century survey, with family-named operations like CV Ranch, Fritsche Ranch, and the K4 Farm established near the seasonal watercourses. The infrastructure of the high desert is visible through numerous windmills and small-scale water improvements such as Cotton Dam and Mexican Dam. Industrial activity is represented by the Stone Quarry north of South Butte, while the northern portion of the map remains labeled as an Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the transition from managed forest land to open, unmapped territory during the late 1940s.
