They will fit in a number of places, in at least two cases extremely well. Just open your mind to other possibilities, don't assume that because a set of maps was allegedly found NEAR the Superstition mountains then they MUST be of that place. If I dropped a map of Nova Scotia at the Peralta trailhead, you would not assume that map must be of the Superstitions, so why do so many assume the stone maps MUST go to the Superstitions? Even the scale is wrong - the eighteen 'dots' would logically mark camping sites for a day's travel and it doesn't take eighteen days to traverse the full length of the Superstition mountains. Just look at the knife and the arrow, one of them probably would point north right? Then look at where the Spanish and the missionaries were historically active in the southwest, not just Arizona either, remember the whole area including Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Utah and California were all part of the Spanish dominions and were being actively 'missionized' for two full centuries.

Each Dot don’t mean days or camp. It just a Old Spanish Survey Marks, The entire Trail equals 8 miles.
