1969 Map of Walnut Grove

About this map

The Hassayampa River flows through this corner of the Prescott National Forest, shaping a landscape of ranching and mining history in Yavapai County. The small community of Walnut Grove serves as the focal point, where the Walnut Grove Sch and Walnut Grove Cem reflect the area's established roots. Evidence of the region's mineral wealth is scattered throughout the hills, specifically at the Silver Crown Mine and the historical Copper Camp (Site). Ranching life is well-documented through numerous family-named landmarks such as the T K Bar Ranch, Carter Ranch, and Whitehead Ranch. The presence of several windmills, including the French Gulch Windmill and Hodgkins Windmill, underscores the importance of water management in this arid terrain, where Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provide the primary means of navigating the high ground near Black Mountain.
