USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Magma Copper Mines and the town of Superior serve as the industrial hub for this copper-rich region in the late 1940s. The map illustrates a landscape transformed by extraction, featuring a massive Smelter, a Slag Dump, and multiple Tailings Ponds that characterize the town's immediate surroundings. The Magma Arizona RR provides the essential heavy transport link needed for ore movement, while the Superior Airport and a local Golf Course show the community's mid-century development.
