The only way I that I can explain it is that there is a N/S line of mines and or cashes from the Salt River to Music Canyon Springs. Haywood, Waltz and others were describing and working locations on this quasi line. Only my opinion. The stone maps revel the location of these places. I don't know that they are Peralta mines or mines that have been worked since antiquity. Something tells me that if they are there, they may predate the Spanish as very primitive mines.

My heart is oriented North, in a North trending Canyon.
Help me on this one. Who was Peter's Canyon named after?

Quote from Peter's Mesa ? Hiking ? Arizona ( Print ) ? HikeArizona.COM
" History: Peters Canyon and Peters Mesa were named after Old Pete - Gottfried Petrasch, father of Hermann and Rhiney Petrasch. Old Pete worked for Jim Bark for awhile in the 1890s doing odd jobs. He searched - as did his sons - for the Lost Dutchman Mine off-and-on for many years following the death of Jacob Waltz. The Petrasches were one of the first groups on the scene and they covered almost the entire Superstition range in their combined searches "
Your Heart covers a very large region , and from my experience in map decryption , the rivers in the most of old maps are used just to show the orientation of the map and the distances between the rivers and targets are not accurate to the maps scale .
