Another piece of a map.
From a Hardesty map, dated 1883.
This one shows a number of mines within the area outlined in red.
From the "Sky Blue" at the top end to the "Silver King" near Silver City at the bottom.
Along with an area marked "placers".
While not related to the topic, some may find this map to be interesting as well, since the date puts it into the LDM timeline.
Also some of the place names.
For example "Frog Peak", which on this map is just to the west of Tortilla Flat/Creek.

Regards:SH.

No need to, Marius.:laughing7:
You can meet many Dutch Hunters around Bluff Springs and Black Top.....even Malapais Mtn.
Many believe it's somewhere on or near by.
But many caves in the mountains have, or once had "casas" inside them.
The task is to recognize which one it is....with a mine tunnel across from it and with pit mine above the tunnel.
And to realize that some of the maps may not apply to the LDM at all.
Or to the Superstition Range.

This is more like what I had in mine......mind.

Some of the history of this area is discussed here....Lost Dutchman Gold Mine - Arizona Superstition Mountain Wilderness - Gold Mining ? View topic - Twin Buttes Markings

More here....DesertUSA.com/mb3 ? View topic - "RESCUE ON BATTLEAXE ROAD" BY JIM HATT.....

Somehiker I didn't want to say it but just by looking at your map I already found it.I have a house with a cavern entrance in it. All the items on the map fit.it was tricky to solve it because I only had stone shapes I had to find.good luck

Hey Peralta, watch that diabetes.
My wife is borderline type2,but controls hers through diet, exercise, and she makes a lot of fresh fruit smoothies.
Still does not like the finger jab, but all little jabs in life are necessary at times.
If you would like some really great tasting and easy to make recipes for smoothies, let me know and ill send them to ya in the form of an e-book.
Free of course.

Sure, go here, and you can copy anything you want on there.
It is mostly about juicing for health, smoothies, recipes, ect.
Articles, and other information.
Not much on diabetes, if you need more info go to either of these 2 places.
My site:
Juicer Machines

These are great for info:
American Diabetes

FDA

Web MD

Lots of free info on those sites.
Good luck, and best of health.
