1966 Map of Weavers Needle

About this map

Weavers Needle stands as the central landmark in this mid-century survey of the Superstition Mountains, a landscape defined by sharp canyons and isolated springs. The map documents a network of primitive transportation routes including the Dutchmans Trail, Bluff Spring Trail, and Peralta Trail, which connect vital water sources like La Barge Spring and Whiskey Spring. These paths reflect a history of ranching and prospecting, evidenced by the presence of the Quarter Circle U Ranch and the Miller Mines.
