USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The town of Superior anchors this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the heavy industry of the Magma Copper Co Smelter and the high peaks of the Tonto National Forest. The copper-rich geology is evident through an extensive network of workings, including the Magma Mine, the Silver King Mine, and the Fortuna Mine. Transportation is dominated by the Magma Arizona RR, which served the smelter and connected the remote mining operations to the broader region.
