1985 Map of Pearce

About this map

Pearce and the nearby residential development of Sunsites anchor this landscape, where the legacy of Arizona mining intersects with modern retirement-era planning. The map reveals a distinct contrast between the older mining operations at Pearce Hill and the structured layout of the Golf Course and several Trailer Park areas in Sunsites. For local historians, the presence of the Old RR Grade and numerous Mine Shafts points to the area's industrial past, while the local Cem remains a vital link for genealogical research. Prominent landmarks such as Six Mile Hill, Township Butte, and the Three Sisters Buttes dominate the horizons, while Turkey Creek provides a natural drain through the valley. The map also documents utilitarian features like the Sewage Disposal Ponds and a Tailings Pond, marking the footprint of both community growth and mineral extraction.
