First of all, the feathered arrow on the map prompts to a reversed/mirrored image reading. And, there are not landmarks named on the map, so the map is useless without the oral or written waybill from the map maker.
This map is a "candy" for those who want to make speculations, because literally is a map for nowhere and is free for any interpretation.
Yes, there were mines in the east Superstitions, but were all modern prospects ( after Mexican's mining ). Can anyone find any record of how much gold produced every gold mining claim in that area? To me, seems the most if not all were bogus claims without any proof of gold, just to possess the land in case something will bring out in the future or someone will say how in their claim is something worth buried. I saw that happening in the west Superstitions and in other states, in regions where there were rumors of existing treasures or gold mines.
