Tortilla Flat, Arizona (pop. 6) is the last surviving stagecoach stop along the Apache Trail. Originally a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid to late 1800s, Tortilla Flat was later a freight camp for the construction of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. From this time (1904) on, Tortilla Flat has had a small (<100 people) but continuous population. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat. Tortilla Flat is part of the Phoenix- Mesa metropolitan area. ...more on Wikipedia about "Tortilla Flat, Arizona"
