1904 Map of Congress

About this map

Mining operations and remote ranching outposts define this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County during the first years of the twentieth century. The Weaver Mountains and Date Creek Mountains dominate the center of the sheet, providing the geologic backdrop for a surge in industrial gold mining. The famous Congress Mine sits at the southern foot of these peaks, supported by the S. F. P. & P. Ry. which connects Congress Junction to the wider world.
