Question mark symbol on the Wagoner's map. A GE image of it for the interested. It's about 30 feet large, few yards from the mine and arrastra.

I know that some prospectors use Google Earth to look for outcroppings/ledges, sometimes with success. I'll use the Whiskey Spring area as an example for the geologic formations that I think might attract the eyes of a prospector searching for potential sites for on-the-ground explorations. I'm not saying here that I see bona fide outcroppings/ledges in the images provided below. I only see possible folding and, maybe, faulting that has formed raised ridges in the terrain, and where outcroppings/ledges could be exposed. I would think that those kind of places would be given primary importance in planning any exploratory trips. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In the images below, I see possible folding centered between the red lines.

The east/westish stretch of trail in between Miners Needle and Whisky Spring has a bunch of outcroppings, of the type you pictured above I think, especially on the north side that are accessable. There are also a lot of ravines and hillsides that are quite accessable.
And if this is the military trail........
Edit, in my map below, that is not Weavers Needle. I only took a pic of Weavers Needle from that spot.
