About this map

Goldfield Ghost Town and the neighboring settlement of Youngberg stand at the western edge of this desert landscape, where mining history meets modern expansion. The map details a complex transition from suburban residential grids like those along E Southern Ave and E Cloudview Ave to the dramatic verticality of the Superstition Mountains. Notable landmarks of the area's ranching and prospecting heritage are scattered throughout the terrain, including Kings Ranch, Saguaro Slope Ranch, and the Goldfield Mine Water Tower.

Deep canyons and high peaks define the eastern half of the map, from the prominent cliffs of The Flatiron to the remote Aylors Caballo Camp. Seasonal drainage patterns are visible in the winding paths of First Water Creek and Weekes Wash, which carve through the volcanic geology of Black Mesa and Hackberry Mesa. Cultural sites like the Massacre Grounds and Hieroglyphic Canyon underscore the historical depth of this region within the Tonto National Forest surroundings.
