1929 Map of Turret Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Verde River winds through this Central Arizona landscape surveyed in the late 1920s, a region defined by high mesas and deep-cut canyons at the meeting point of Yavapai and Maricopa counties. Cattle ranching and hard-rock mining anchor the local economy, evidenced by numerous family operations such as the Anchor Ranch, L X Bar Ranch, and Dugan Ranch. The map reveals a cluster of industrial activity in the southwest, where the Copper Queen Mine, United Arizona Mine, and Rosalie Mine operated in the vicinity of Squaw Creek. Higher elevations are marked by the Coconino National Forest and Tonto National Forest boundaries, while local landmarks like Verde Hot Springs and a Ranger Station indicate early forest management and recreational interest. The isolation of places like Bloody Basin and Cooks Mesa underscores the difficult terrain encountered by early surveyors W. G. Carson and C. W. H. Nessler.
