USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Superior stands as the industrial heart of this Arizona landscape, dominated by the sprawling operations of the Magna Copper Co. The copper-driven economy is physically expressed through the presence of a massive Smelter, Slag Dump, and the Magma Arizona Railroad terminating at the townsite. Beyond the urban center, the terrain is dotted with high-elevation mining claims like the Silver King Mine and Apache Mine, reflecting decades of extraction in the foothills of Peachville Mtn.
