1956 Map of Goldfield

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The mining camp of Goldfield sits at the base of the Goldfield Mountains, surrounded by several active and historic claims including the Tomahawk Mine, Bluebird Mine, and Black Queen Mine. This 1956 survey documents a landscape defined by its rugged mineral history and cattle ranching culture, featuring established homesteads like Kings Ranch and B Bar B Ranch. To the east, the vast Superstition Mountains dominate the terrain, where cultural artifacts such as Indian Hieroglyphics and Spanish Hieroglyphics are recorded near Hieroglyphic Spring. The map traces a network of drainage canyons like Boulder Canyon and La Barge Canyon carving through the high mesas, while the Apache Trail provides the primary transit route through this portion of the Tonto National Forest.
