1902 Map of Florence

About this map

Florence serves as the focal point for this early Arizona Territory survey, situated along the Gila River just before the turn of the century. The town is flanked by a network of ranching and mining outposts, reflecting a landscape defined by the rugged Superstition Mountains to the north and the river-fed agricultural lands to the south. Notable ranching interests like Bradys Ranch and Donnellys Ranch are established along the river valley, while the mountains hide mining ventures such as the Silver Bell Mine and the community of Silver King.
