1929 Map of Turret Peak

About this map

Verde River bisects this dramatic central Arizona landscape, carving a deep corridor through the high desert during the late 1920s. The region is characterized by a hard-scrabble ranching and mining economy, evidenced by a network of isolated homesteads like Brown Springs Ranch and Anchor Ranch scattered across the surrounding mesas. High-elevation points such as Turret Peak and Squaw Peak overlook the complex drainage systems of Sycamore Creek and Hackberry Creek.
