Looking for any Photographs of Union, AZ

[Lasivian]

This is an old ghost town in AZ. The buildings were bulldozed there a few years back, but the mine is still around.

I'm thinking if I can find some old photos of the buildings before they were bulldozed I can figure out where they stood and do some hunting at those locations.

BTW, the union mine is at 33?41'01"N, 112?02'45"W just a little northeast of Phoenix, AZ.

This probably doesn't help, but sometimes these USGS maps are fairly old and could show buildings that were knocked down a few years back...

don't fail to notice that you can scroll that map...

Thanks for the thought noob MD, already have all those maps tho

I'm hoping some of the landmarks will still be around, or that I can use the hills nearby.

Check you local library for newspaper articals useing the key word "Town Name" USGS will "Zoom" in on buildings, Should give you Long and Lat with your mouse and You should be able to Tryangulat from two given points of Typo.

This probably won't help you either, but it may show you a road or two that you were not aware of...

You can zoom in more than the map is on this link.

Good luck!

Have you tried www.maptech.com you can put the lona & lat in and it will pull up topos, satilitte, nautical (no use of this for you) and aircraft chart. The kool thing is you can use the lon and lat to the spot.

Hope this helps alittle.

Uh..

I don't think you guys realize what i'm looking for.

I'm looking for photos from ground level of the buildings that used to stand there, so I can find the same patches of land when i'm standing there.

I included the lat/long so you'd know where I was talking about. (Since there is also a Union, NV)

thanks

Did you ever gather the data on Union, AZ?
