About this map

South Superior, also identified by its post office as Superior P O, occupies a dramatic position at the edge of Horsethief Canyon. This 1986 record of the Sweetwater County landscape highlights the intersection of high-desert terrain and the Continental Divide, which traverses the northeastern portion of the sheet. The area is defined by volcanic features and high plateaus, including Zirkel Mesa and the Pumice Hills, suggesting a region shaped by both geological forces and intermittent ranching or mineral interests. Numerous labels for Prospect and Mine appear across the volcanic mesas, while natural landmarks like The Natural Corrals and Scotts Meadow provide points of reference in an otherwise arid expanse drained by Deadman Wash and Leucite Creek.
