1964 Map of Grayback

About this map

The Gila River winds through the northern portion of this Pinal County landscape, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid terrain. Along its banks, the A-Diamond Ranch represents the agricultural and ranching presence in the region during the mid-1960s. The topography is defined by significant mineral interest, evidenced by the Golden Bell Mine and Wooley Mine, as well as numerous Prospects scattered across the ridgelines. A network of Jeep Trails and footpaths suggests a region primarily used for resource extraction and livestock grazing rather than dense settlement. Infrastructure like the Radio Tower and Substation indicates the encroachment of modern utilities into the desert. The presence of Uslm 2395 serves as a reminder of the foundational mineral surveys that established mining claims in this part of Arizona.
