About this map

The copper mining district around Globe dominates this turn-of-the-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by heavy industry and early ranching. Concentrated along the northeastern quadrant, significant operations like the Old Dominion Mine, Copper Hill Mine, and Big Johnnie Mine reveal the scale of mineral extraction during the region's formative years. The G V G & N R R provides the vital rail link to these operations, snaking through the terrain to connect the town center with the surrounding pits and shafts.

Beyond the industrial core, the map detail transitions into the rugged uplands of the Tonto National Forest and the Pinal Mountains. Isolated outposts like Murphy Ranch, Mc Lean's Ranch, and Sixtynix Ranch are scattered across the basins, marking the early livestock trade. Notable landmarks such as Sleeping Beauty Pk. and Pinal Peak tower over the network of gulches and washes, including the prominent Bloody Tanks Wash and Pinto Creek.
