About this map

The copper and silver mining legacy of the Pinal Mountains is etched across this landscape, centered on the town of Superior. The map details an intensive industrial environment where the Magma No 9 Mine and Belmont Mine operate alongside extensive infrastructure, including a Tailings Pond, large Mine Dump areas, and an Open Pit Mine. To the north, the historic Silver King Mine sits near Peachville, connected to the broader region by the Silver King Substation.

Beyond the industrial zones, the terrain rises into the Tonto National Forest and the Superstition Wilderness. Significant landmarks like Kings Crown Peak and Oak Flat dominate the high ground, while the drainage of Queen Creek and Arnett Creek provides a natural counterpoint to the town's grid. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of the community Cem, the High Sch, and the J I Ranch, reflecting a century of settlement in this mineral-rich corridor.
