1948 Map of Picacho Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates the terrain of this late 1940s survey, illustrating a rugged landscape of ranching and water management in Yavapai County. The mapping captures the importance of irrigation and livestock support through several named features such as Mexican Dam, Cotton Dam, and the Red Hat Tank. Settlement patterns are defined by established agricultural holdings, including the K4 Farm, CV Ranch, and Fritsche Ranch, which are linked by a singular Telephone Line and primitive roads. The hydrology of the area is centered around Big Chino Wash and Pine Creek, which drain the area surrounding South Butte. The presence of a Stone Quarry and a prominent Dike indicates localized industrial activity and geological interests in this predominantly unsurveyed region of central Arizona.
