1956 Map of Goldfield

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Goldfield Mountains and the western reaches of the Superstition Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape on the border of Maricopa and Pinal counties. The settlement of Goldfield serves as a focal point for the region's mining legacy, surrounded by several identified workings including the Tomahawk Mine, Black Queen Mine, and Bluebird Mine. This era shows a transition from active extraction toward recreation and preservation within the Tonto National Forest. Local landmarks like the Massacre Grounds and Indian Hieroglyphics near Hieroglyphic Spring speak to the deep cultural layers of the desert. Further exploration of the interior reveals a network of canyons such as Boulder Canyon and La Barge Canyon, alongside remote outposts like Aylors Caballo Camp and established properties like the First Water Ranch and B Bar B Ranch.
