USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Magma Copper Mines and the industrial infrastructure of Superior dominate this postwar landscape, reflecting an era when copper extraction shaped the regional economy. The town site is densely detailed, featuring the Magma Arizona Railroad terminus, a large Smelter, and the Superior Municipal Airport. Beyond the core settlement, the map records numerous inactive operations, including the Silver King Mine and Fortuna Mine, marking the footprint of earlier prospecting efforts in Pinal County.
