This is a gold-silver mining area located about 25 miles East of Prescott at the southern end of the Black Hill range on the headwaters of the Cherry Creek (SE corner of the Jerome quadrangle). It lies at between 5,000 and 5,500 feet of altitude.
The country rocks are Bradshaw granite, which prevails. It is locally overlain by Cambrian and Devonian sedimentary rocks and Tertiary lavas. Veins occur in the granite in shear zones. Their filling consists of irregular, lenticular bodies of massive, shiny, white quartz with small amounts of greenish-black tourmaline. The gold-bearing quartz veins are of Precambrian age.
