Cochran, Arizona & the Coke Ovens

Cochran, Arizona is a mining ghost town with few signs of its past. Located east of Florence, along a rail line and south of the Gila River, the most memorable signs of its past are the five, well-preserved coke ovens that served the mining industry in the early part of the last century. Mesquite trees were burned in the ovens to produce charcoal for smelting. We visited Cochran but had to look across the Gila River to see the ovens.
