1947 Map of Picacho Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The vast grazing lands and water management systems of Yavapai County define this 1947 survey. Big Chino Wash and its various tributaries, including Partridge Cr and Pine Creek, serve as the primary drainage for the high desert terrain. The area is characterized by isolated agricultural outposts such as K 4 Farm, the CV Ranch, and the Fritsche Ranch, which relied on a network of numerous windmills and tanks to sustain operations. Water infrastructure is notably detailed, featuring Mexican Dam, Cotton Dam, and Limestone Dam, alongside various catchments like Indian Tank and Red Hat Tank. Rising above the surrounding flats, Picacho Butte and South Butte provide significant topographical relief. Evidence of local industry is visible at the Stone Quarry, while a lone telephone line traces a path through the southern portion of the Prescott National Forest.
