About this map

Table Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Maricopa County are defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and hidden water sources. The landscape is carved by significant channels like Davenport Wash and Mazatzal Wash, which collect runoff from the higher elevations of Davenport Peak. These waterways are fed by a surprising density of named springs, including Divide Spring, Midway Spring, and Red Rock Spring, which historically served as critical waypoints in this arid environment.

Evidence of human habitation and land use is centered on the Sheep Creek Cabin, located near Round Spring in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the complex hydrography of the region, where the North Fork Deadman Creek and South Fork Deadman Creek converge, alongside prominent geological features such as Granite Basin and Maverick Basin. These labels provide essential context for researchers tracing early twentieth-century ranching infrastructure and the geography of the Mazatzal Mountains.
