1969 Map of Sam Powell Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Oro Grande Mine and the Mistake Mine sit amidst the arid terrain of the Black Hills in this 1969 field-checked survey of central Arizona. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Hassayampa River, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle near the Wickenburg Mts. This area, heavily marked by mining activity, includes specialized structures like the Sand Mill and numerous unnamed prospect pits and shafts. Transportation in this era relied heavily on a network of primitive routes, including the Rincon Road, various jeep trails, and a pack trail weaving through Box Canyon. Distinctive landmarks such as The Needle and Sam Powell Peak serve as prominent navigational aids for those traversing the canyons and gulches, while the presence of a Gaging Station on the river indicates the importance of water management in this desert environment.
