The Audrey Headframe Park in Jerome, AZ, features a state-of-the-art headframe and shaft, constructed in 1918 by the United Verde Extension (UVX) Company, following the discovery of a rich copper deposit. This facility was integral to the mining operations in the area, serving as a sophisticated design that prioritized worker safety and efficiency.

The mining operation was recognized as one of the safest in America, showcasing a complex infrastructure and innovative engineering for its time.
