Devil’s Highway – US-191 (formerly US-666)
US-191 runs from Mexico to Canada, but the part that runs from Springerville/Eagar south to Morenci is referred to as the “Devil’s Highway” mostly due to the former designation as US-666 (the sixth spur off US-66). It is also named as the Coronado Trail Scenic Byway.
The Morenci mine was set up as an underground mine in 1871 by the Longfellow Mining Company and was converted into an open pit mine by the Phelps Dodge Corporation starting in 1937. The earliest operations at Morenci Mine, then called the Longfellow Mine, used mules to transport ore carts. 4,450 feet (about half the height of Mount St. Helens) deep
