Miami, Arizona - Mining Operations

Miami is a classic Western copper boom-town.  It is 9 square miles and, as of the 2010 census, has a population of 1,837.  Copper mining accounts for the largest number of jobs.  Freeport-McMoRan employs about 600 people at the Miami operation.   These photographs are taken from Rt. 60, which runs on the outskirts of the town.  The "downtown" area is in the process of renovation and we are on our way to inspect the progress since the last visit.
