1949 Map of Superior
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Magma Copper Mines and the town of Superior serve as the industrial anchor for this post-war survey, illustrating the complex infrastructure of a high-desert copper district. The landscape is heavily marked by extractive history, with a density of mining operations including the Belmont Mine and several defunct sites like the Silver King Mine (Aband) and Fortuna Mine (Aband). Beyond the residential blocks of Superior, the map details specialized mining features such as a Smelter, Slag Dump, and multiple Tailings Ponds along Queen Creek.
