2021 Map of Vulture Mine

About this map

The Vulture Mine serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated at the edge of the Vulture Mountains and overlooking the wide expanse of the Hassayampa Plain. This modern survey illustrates the enduring footprint of mining operations alongside the desert's natural drainage patterns, including Mill Wash and Jimmie Wash. The area retains significant cultural markers such as the Verde Flats Cem, providing a direct link to the community that once supported the mine's operations. The terrain to the north is defined by prominent elevations like Caballeros Peaks and the volcanic forms of Indian Buttes. Water management is represented by essential features like Garcia Tank and Indian Tank, while the growing grid of the valley to the south is visible through thoroughfares such as W Carefree Hwy and W Lone Mountain Rd.
