About this map

Kearny emerges as a prominent mid-century settlement along the Gila River corridor, illustrating the industrial and residential development of Pinal County during the 1960s. The town features a planned layout complete with a Hospital, Ray District High Sch, and a Landing Strip, serving as a modern hub for the region's mining workforce. To the northwest, the older settlements of Kelvin and Riverside sit near Ray Junction, where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the Mining Railroad along Mineral Creek.

The surrounding Tortilla Mountains and Dripping Spring Mts are marked by significant mineral history, including the Sultana Arizona Mine, Hackberry Mine, and Old Ripsey Mine. This terrain is navigated by a network of jeep trails crossing washes like Steamboat Wash and Ripsey Wash. Notable local landmarks such as the Kelvin Cem and the Wooden Cross north of Kane provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the early 20th-century footprint of this river valley.
