Morenci,AZ - Greenlee County - c1910 - Vista over Gold Gulch Photograph *Territorial* :
This is a great shot of the layout of the city. Photograph measures 8”x6”, dark green single matte 12”x10”, high contrast in the middle and faded on the peripheries, and the focus is sharp. Matte has wear along the edges and is slightly warped. Photographer probably M. Culp of Morenci, 1909-10 (Mautz). Morenci was a mining camp approx. 6 miles northwest of Clifton. Barnes says the town, “was named by Mr. Church of Detroit Copper Co., who came from Morenci, Mich. First called Joys Camp after Capt. Joy, early settler and prospector” (Arizona Place Names). A post office was established in 1884. Morenci was also the end of the line for the Morenci Southern Narrow Gauge R.R.
