1892 Map of Verde

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

The Verde River drainage and the towering escarpment of the Mogollon Mesa dominate this late 19th-century reconnaissance. The mapping captures the frontier character of central Arizona during a period when Fort Verde served as a primary anchor for regional settlement. Scattered pioneer outposts like Strawberry, Pine, and Payson are clustered in the foothills, while the landscape transition from the high Mormon Mountain to the depths of Bloody Basin is clearly defined. Notable landmarks such as Natural Bridge and the geological curiosity of Montezuma Well appear alongside infrastructure projects like The Tunnel. The map also traces a network of water sources essential to the era's survival, including Pine Spring and Stoneman Lake, marking the locations of early tanks and ranches like Potato Ranch that supported the cattle and ranching expansion into Yavapai and Maricopa counties.
