Ajo stands as the industrial and social heart of this desert landscape, its development deeply tied to the massive New Cornelia Mines that dominate the local economy. The town is surrounded by distinct residential and service clusters including Mexican Town, Gibson, and Clarkstown Rowood PO, reflecting the segregated settlement patterns common in early 20th-century mining districts. This 1930s survey captures the region just as modern infrastructure was taking hold, evidenced by the Tucson Cornelia and Gila Bend RR and the Ajo Landing Field which connected this remote copper center to the wider world.
