1902 Map of Globe

About this map

Globe serves as the focal point of this copper-rich territory at the dawn of the twentieth century, anchored by the substantial Old Dominion Mine and a cluster of surrounding workings like the Copper Hill Mine and Buffalo Mine. The landscape is defined by the massive Pinal Mountains, where Pinal Peak towers over a network of canyons and gulches. Infrastructure is driven by mineral extraction, as evidenced by the G. V. G. & N. R. R. rail line and the established Bloody Tanks Base Line. Outside the mining camps, the map reveals a rugged ranching economy through named holdings such as Pinal Ranch, Sixtysix Ranch, and Schultze Ranch. This survey captures the transition from isolated territorial outposts to an industrial mining district, punctuated by vital water sources like Big Eds Well and Continental Spring.
