2011 Map of Picketpost Mountain

About this map

Picketpost Mountain anchors the southern portion of this high-desert landscape near Superior, Arizona, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal washes and canyons. The presence of the Bomboy Mine Rd and Hewitt Station Rd indicates the historical importance of access to mining claims and cattle operations in the Pinal County backcountry. The map captures the infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Superior Municipal Airport and the Queen Creek Bridge, while still noting local camps like Barnett Camp and Happy Camp. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by numerous named tanks and springs such as Arboretum Tank, Lower Railroad Spring, and Highway Tank. From the crossing at Gonzales Pass to the deep recesses of Telegraph Canyon, the survey reflects a landscape where industrial leftovers like the Superior Dump exist alongside protected natural corridors.
