1965 Map of Fortuna Mine

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Fortuna Mine and Golden Dream Mine anchor this mid-1960s study of the Gila Mountains, a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and ephemeral water sources. The map captures the intersection of mining history and military presence, with a significant portion of the terrain designated as the Luke Air Force Range. Movement through this arid region follows historical paths such as the Camino Del Diablo and the Approximate West Route, which skirt the edges of the Yuma Desert. Infrastructure is sparse but critical, evidenced by the Water Tank and Tailings near the Fortuna workings. The drainage patterns of Fortuna Wash and landmarks like Red Top Mtn and Vapoki Ridge provide a clear view of the land as it appeared before modern desert development or conservation shifts.
