This is a gold-silver-lead-copper mining area located about 25 miles East of Prescott. It is an area of about 18 by 8 miles between the eastern foot of the Bradshaw Mountains and the Agua Fria River. In general, it includes the valley extending for 25 miles from Turkey Creek to Goddards. It lies at between 2,000 and 4,000 feet of altitude. The area rocks consist of two large areas of Pre-Cambrian granite - the Bradshaw Mountains on the West and the equally large area partly covered by lava on the East. Between the two, and extending due North is a strip of northward-trending Yavapai Schist about 2 miles wide, mostly of sedimentary origin. A narrow but very persistent strip, or perhaps dike, of diorite, a hard green rock weathering red, from 2,000 to 5,000 feet wide, adjoins the schist on the East.
The mineral deposits consist of a series of pyritic lenses in the schist; Pre-Cambrian magnetite deposits in schist; Pre-Cambrian quartz veins; many flat veins of younger age connected with dikes of rhyolite porphyry; and, placer deposits along the Black Canyon.
