1969 Map of Sam Powell Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Sam Powell Peak and the surrounding high desert of Yavapai County define this 1960s landscape, where mining activity and rugged drainage systems intersect. The Hassayampa River cuts through the center of the sheet, joined by seasonal flows from Fools Canyon and Solomon Gulch. This era of the Arizona interior shows a heavy concentration of mineral exploration and extraction, particularly in the Black Hills where the Black Hills Mines and the Mistake Mine are located. Further south, the Oro Grande Mine sits near the Rincon Road. The map documents a network of primitive transportation essential to these operations, from the established Constellation Road to numerous unnamed Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that provided access to isolated prospects and landmarks like The Needle. Small-scale industrial sites, including a Sand Mill and a Gaging Station, further illustrate the working nature of the terrain.
