1945 Map of Inspiration

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The copper-rich landscape of Gila County is defined by extensive industrial activity within the Tonto National Forest. Centered on the sprawling Castle Dome Mine and its Castle Dome Concentrator, the map reveals a complex system of extraction including the Silver Belt Shaft, Hamilton Shaft, and Pinto Shaft. The sheer scale of operations is evident in the presence of a large Tailings Pond and Cottonwood Tailings Pond, along with a massive Leaching Plant near Inspiration. These mining features, alongside the town of Miami, illustrate the peak of mid-century industrial development in the region.
