Additional Details

Agua Fria was a bustling mining town in Maricopa County; these views show numerous buildings and a crude hotel, with miners camping or building log cabins in the valley. Agua Fria is now a ghost town. The first view gives "C. Riehn" as the artist; no other works credited to this artist are known. Peters, California on Stone, page 138.
