1956 Map of Superstition Mts. SW

About this map

Dinosaur Mtn dominates the northern landscape of this Pinal County survey, rising above a desert floor characterized by seasonal drainages and early infrastructure. The map captures the mid-century development along U. S. Route 60, where a Trailer Park and a Scenic Marker cater to travelers moving through the Sonoran terrain. To the east, the map documents land use dedicated to conservation at the Game Restoration Area, while traces of industrial history appear in the far northeast corner near several Shafts and a Mine. In the south, the channel of Queen Creek cuts through the plains below Navajo Station, illustrating the relationship between water courses and the placement of early ranching and transport outposts like the RRR Ranch.
