Double Springs Camp

Double Springs Camp

Following the abandonment of the Mormon Lake area by Little Colorado River settlers by the late 1880s, the lands saw sporadic logging and ranching activities until the 1930s, when the Great Depression spurred the creation of federal programs aimed at creating recreational and forest management infrastructure across America’s public lands. In 2016, Cornerstone recorded the remains of Double Springs Camp (F-6-A), a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp overlooking the western edge of the lake. The CCC operated between 1933 and 1942, established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to generate jobs for struggling Americans during the Great Depression (Otis et al. 1986).

Battle of Turret Peak

Battle of Turret Peak

The Bloody Basin is a physiographic region north of Perry Mesa, approximately 100 km north of Phoenix, Arizona, and was named for a series of bloody skirmishes between the U.S. Army and local Native Americans. The Tonto Basin Campaign was organized by General George Crook in 1871 in an attempt to put an end to the numerous small fights between Euroamerican settlers and Apache and Yavapai in central Arizona. The campaign’s purpose was to force the native population back on to reservations, with the Battle of Turret Peak being the turning point of the campaign.

Client Testimonials

  • “Cornerstone Environmental was key to helping us to complete the appropriate environmental analysis for a Recreational Trails Program Grant for the Fort Tuthill Bike Park. This was a daunting task for us, given that the bike park lies within the boundaries of a National Register of Historic Places site. Cornerstone handled all of the necessary steps to include in our submissions to Arizona Department of Transportation, Arizona State Parks, and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office.

    Cornerstone’s sponsorship of this volunteer driven, free-to-the-community project has been greatly appreciated!”
