1901 Map of Globe

About this map

The silver and copper mining district surrounding Globe dominates this landscape at the dawn of the twentieth century. The map details a heavy industrial corridor along the G & N R R, where major operations like the Old Dominion Mine, Buffalo Mine, and Grey Mine established the region's economic foundation. Beyond the immediate bustle of the town and its adjacent Miami Flat, the terrain transitions into the high country of the Pinal Mountains and the Tonto National Forest. Numerous family outposts such as Schultze Ranch and Murphy Ranch are scattered through the gulches, while the southern reaches are defined by landmarks like Pinal Peak and the deep Icehouse Canyon. This survey captures the critical early development phase of the Gila County mineral belt, showing the intricate network of mines including the Keystone Mine and Continental Mine before later large-scale open-pit operations altered the topography.
