Small Gila Valley farm settlement a few miles south of Duncan, founded by Mormon pioneers in the 1890s along the river bottom near the New Mexico line. Surviving church, fields, and quiet residential grid preserve a working agricultural chapter of Greenlee County history distinct from the copper-camp story of Clifton–Morenci and the Duncan commercial district upriver.
