1938 Map of Klondyke

About this map

Aravaipa Creek cuts a vital path through this high-desert landscape, providing the lifeblood for the small community of Klondyke and the nearby Aravaipa Sch. Surveyed in the late 1930s, the map reveals a region defined by an intense mineral extraction economy. Hardrock mining operations are scattered across the peaks and canyons, from the Grand Reef Mine on the slopes of the Santa Teresa Mountains to the concentrated activity at Copper Creek in the southwest, where the Glory Hole Mine and Copper Prince Mine are located.
