1934 Map of Ajo
USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
The New Cornelia Mines dominate the industrial landscape of Pima County in the early 1930s, centering on the settlement of Ajo and its surrounding worker communities. This survey reveals a distinct social geography, with Mexican Town, Gibson, and Clarkstown Rowood P O clustered near the primary mining operations and Concentrator Hill. Beyond the industrial core, the map captures a network of essential water sources in the desert, including Bates Well, Teco Shanie Well, and Thoms Well, which supported isolated outposts like Sneed Ranch. Transportation through the Valley of the Ajo relied on the Gila Bend and Cornella Road and the Tucson Highway. Notable landmarks of the era include the Ajo Golf Club and Ajo Landing Field, illustrating the town's development alongside its copper-driven economy.
