Hey thanks.....but that's only 1 shelfVery nice library !

Oh! You mentioned the stage road down Queen Creek, Hewitt Station on the old RR is real interesting as is Hewitt Canyon, you know the topo horse's head is on the mountain west side . Lots more about all that in my upcoming book, will not be mentioned in presentation.
Dang got to get to work I am going to be absent here for awhile.

Mr. Brewer....I like challenges, and you owe me a steak dinnerCuz, if you can find a reference to how Hewitt station and the topographic features got that name was named, I'll buy you the best steak dinner you can find.
also look at the right side of your dog's nose, it is a change in direction to the way the dog nose pointed. When you crossed queen creek to go up Hewitt canyon, look to the right, west at a hill just across the deep canyon, if you find the right clues you may be near a reward..

. He immigrated here from Ireland and went right to work in the Silver King.... I wonder how he got here. Was Cushing and Reymert's company responsible? More avenues to follow, but I found Hewitt.

To some, Waltz could fit the bill as a KGC sympathizer, operative, even a "sentinel". Here are a couple documentable bread crumbs that may or may not link Waltz to the KGC, at least tangentially:...
Jacob Waltz fits this mold of man who came here from Europe, by way of Nachez, to work the mines....

Treasure signs are near buzzard roost in Logan County Arkansas too. Snake,turtle and Masonic symbol. I moved from there though and am right across hwy 60 from the Reymert mineHeart Mountain is on the agenda too. It's just that Reymert (DeNoon) is easier to get to....

. Welcome to the discussion! I was in Queen Valley last weekend. Well, I drove through it on the way to the Roost..... I didn't know there was one in Arkansas too..... Interesting. If you saw the video, did you see the skull and 5-pointed star?Adding one to the list:To some, Waltz could fit the bill as a KGC sympathizer, operative, even a "sentinel". Here are a couple documentable bread crumbs that may or may not link Waltz to the KGC, at least tangentially:
Waltz: 1840s, a couple years in Natchez, MS, county seat of Adams County, an "incubator" for the eventual founding of the KGC under General John A. Quitman.
Waltz: 1858-1862, active in mining in central/southern CA. Considerable KGC organization/activity in central CA during this period.
Waltz: originator of the "Lost Dutchman" mine legend and provider of information for its whereabouts, initiating an intensive search that has presumably not been successful.

Well Cuz you found a Hewitt in Pinal County, but there is nothing to say that Hewitt Station or Canyon was named for him. I said quote; A reference to how Hewitt station and the topographic features got that name was named. It says his cattle operation was at Pinal, now a ghost town but only about 7 miles from enterance to Hewitt Canyon but there is a Hewitt Ranch on the 1900 Florence topo, so for now we will assume the name came from his ranch. So Cuz, we just killed a fat 800# Angus steer a couple months ago, so drive on over to Arkansas and I'll cook you the biggest T bone you'll ever get. Otherwise I may have to come to AJ and dig up some treasure and buy you one out there. I will owe you one either way.Mr. Brewer....I like challenges, and you owe me a steak dinner.

That brand record must have been in the courthouse in Florence. Good work!
. It's good to get to the bottom of things.
BUT, if you want to come to AJ and dig up some treasure first, I guess I'll settle..... 
CuzThis is not some random Hewitt in Pinal County. It is THE Hugh Hewitt that owned Hewitts Ranch in the Southern Sups from the 1880's to 1901. I can answer your Hewitt Ranch question on the 1900 topo.
Hugh Hewitt bought his Ranch along Queen Creek at the southern end of the Superstitions (not Pinal City) in about the 1880's. I have the exact date, but Im swimming in newspaper clippings right now and cant find it. He sold his ranch to Fraser in 1901. Land ownership records on file at the Pinal County Recorder verify this and so does the newspaper clipping below. (Yes I know it's BLM land....but that doesn't mean I didn't make friends at the Pinal County Recorder's office willing to help me out...)
That means, in 1900 Hugh Hewitt owned Hewitt's Ranch and had for about 20 years by then. So there is now zero mystery as to why it says Hewitt on the 1900 topo. The 1900 topo says "Hewitt's Ranch" because Hugh Hewitt owned the ranch at that time and did until 1901. Easy peasy (at least to me in this moment, subject to change).
Also, if the Thompsons live at the end of Thompson Road, how far do we have to search to find out why it's called Thompson Road?
Same applies to Hewitt Canyon........Since Hugh Hewitt owned Hewitt's Ranch from the 1880's to 1901, how far do we have to look to find out why a canyon that runs through Hewitt's Ranch might also be called Hewitt........?
Ps. Did you just invite me out to a steak dinner? I would fly to Arkansas for that. We can have a steak at Skinwalker Ranch in a couple weeks if you'd likeIll be on my best behaviour I promise
BUT, if you want to come to AJ and dig up some treasure first, I guess thats ok too.....

I really wanted it to be Jesse James.....but alas......Cuz
I think we all should be pretty good with Hewitt Canyon being named after Hugh Hewitt. There shouldn't be any questioning about the subject from this point on. Excellent research Joe!
