1947 Map of Wagoner

About this map

Wagoner serves as the focal point for this 1940s-era topographic study of the Bradshaw Mountains region within the Prescott National Forest. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the Hassayampa River and numerous tributaries such as Blind Indian Creek and Blackwater Creek. Local ranching life is well-documented through the presence of the Diamond 2 Ranch and Cooper Ranch, which occupied the higher flats and gulches. The terrain is notably punctuated by landmarks like Wades Butte and Seal Mountain, alongside unique geographic features such as The Hole and Minnehaha Flat. A network of springs, including Dead Mexican Sprs and Ashe Spr, provided essential water sources in this arid environment, illustrating the scattered nature of early Arizona upland settlement and land use.
