About this map

Silver Monument Mine and several other historic extraction sites define this high-altitude landscape in the Gila National Forest area. The map documents a cluster of mining activity including the Silver Glance Mine, Silver Bar Mine, and Tomahawk Mine, all situated near the headwaters of Chloride Creek. This concentration of lode claims and workings suggests a significant silver-bearing district carved into the rugged drainages of Blackhawk Gulch.

Remote outposts and geographic landmarks provide context for the era's settlement patterns, such as New Era and James Cabin. To the south, the terrain falls away into a complex network of canyons including Doubtful Canyon and Fisherman Canyon. The Lookout Mountain Lookout stands as a prominent vantage point atop Lookout Mountain, overseeing the intersection of US Forest Service roads and the seasonal flows of Turkey Run.
