San Cayetano Mining District


1914 map, extracted from https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/0582/plate-1.pdf

The San Cayetano Mountains, an outlying group southwest of the Santa Rita Mountains, form a single-crested north-south mass about 5 miles long and 2 miles in breadth at the middle and highest point, where they rise to nearly 6,000 feet, or 2,000 feet above Josephine Canyon. The topography is rough, as they are composed of eroded volcanic rocks. The structure, like that of the Santa Rita Mountains, is monoclinal, with the dip to the east.
