All my years growing up in Superior I never heard of "Fort Superior". General Picket had a small outpost at the foot of Picket Post Mountain to lookout for hostile indians, but that's about it. When Superior was named as a town all forts and Cavalry was gone by then.
Fascingating stuff but I literally got motion sickness from you camera. Please pan slower. I would also suggest backing up to show your finds as to aleviaate the steep downward angle. Again, great stuff and look forward to seeing more.
Those rock walls could be built by the Chinese thousands of years ago. The Chinese built walls like that before the Great Wall was built and they built rock walls like in the San Francisco Bay area mountains as well as the foothills east of Oakdale ca.
that was some interesting stuff you found out there, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I live here since 2016 - must check out! Thanks for posting.
I would imagine those walls on the backside slope, is a coral for the horses.
I would metal detect and see if you find any Calvary stuff.
Fascinating. I have some videos to catch up on.
Please do! THX JSS
Those lower walls were built as firing positions located along the “military crest” of the slope to defend the fort.
It's funny how those walls sneak up on you sometimes.
Commanding view for a fort.
If that was a Fort, look for the trash pile! Back then it would be tin cans, jars and wooden boxes with nails, the nails at least.

Last I heard .. there IS and was a US Cavalry .. but I never heard of the U S CaLvary... 🤔😏
CAV AL RY (not calvary, which is religious) Thank you. LOL
Weird fort area.
I don’t know for sure the Calvert could have made them but they look like the Chinese rock walls
They look nothing like Chinese rock walls,these are fortification positions incase of incoming fire..

Seriously? Thousands of years ago? The Chinese were first brought here as immigrants around 1847.
not much of a fort or position to defend one's self from. No water. Wouldn't take long for the Apache's to starve them out of supplies.
Water all over ?
