About this map

Weaver Mountains define this landscape in Yavapai County, characterized by high elevations and a network of mining activity. In the late 1960s, the terrain was accessed primarily by a primitive Jeep Trail system, connecting localized extraction sites like the Monte Cristo Mine, Buckhorn Mine, and Cuba Mine. These operations were situated near prominent landmarks such as Weaver Peak and Rocky Boy Peak, where seasonal springs provided essential water sources in the arid environment.

Drainage systems including Cottonwood Creek and the North Fork Date Creek carve through the high country, leading toward isolated points of interest such as Childers Well. The inclusion of the Uslm 2393 mineral monument highlights the importance of precise surveying for mining claims in this part of Arizona. The map serves as a detailed record of the mid-century infrastructure supporting the region's long-standing relationship with prospecting and mineral development.
