About this map

Hard rock mining operations dominate this desert landscape within the Tonto National Forest, as it was recorded in the early 1960s. The settlement of Reymert (Site) is noted as a site, situated near the Reymert Mine and Reymert Wash. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of steep canyons, including Box Canyon, Martinez Canyon, and Alamo Canyon, which dictated the placement of mining claims and access routes.

Prospectors and geologists can trace numerous historic workings, from the Silver Bell Mine and Columbia Mine in the east to the Oklahoma Mine on the slopes of Mineral Mtn. Isolated infrastructure such as the Ajax Mine and Woodpecker Mine are connected by a web of Jeep Trails, while essential water sources like Filaria Spring and Trough Springs appear as vital points in an otherwise arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the industrial footprint of Pinal County before modern large-scale expansions altered these traditional claim sites.
