1990 Map of Kofa Butte
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Mining operations and desert water sources define this 1990 provisional survey of the Kofa Mountains within the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's hard-rock history, centered on the King of Arizona Mine and the North Star Mine. A network of adits, mine shafts, and open pit mines covers the foothills of Polaris Mountain and Kofa Butte, telling the story of a rugged mineral economy. Infrastructure for the arid climate is visible through numerous wells and catchments such as Raven Tank, King Well, and Kofa Dam. A solitary Cemetery near the Black Dahlia Mine provides a poignant genealogical connection to the miners and prospectors who once worked these claims along the King Road.
