Originally, Tortilla Flat was on the opposite side of the road from where it is now, and largely on the other side of the creek. Once established as a freight camp, there seems to have been some number of people living there from then on.

Tortilla Flat got its start because of the road construction to Roosevelt Dam (1904). REMAINS: Post office/motel, general store/restraunt and one room schoolhouse (the only buiding not touched by a fire in 1987) - All else is gone

A remnant of the old west, and still serving adventurous travelers of the mysterious Superstition Mountain area. Tortilla Flat is the only authentic stagecoach stop to survive the 1900's along the Apache Trail.

NOT HAPPY with Tortilla Flats.Tortilla Flat - Arizona Ghost Town TORTILLA FLAT We can't even protest the ticket because we would have to come back to Arizona to appear in court to fight the ticket. We went to inquire in the Tortilla Flats store and they said 'that is park service territory and we have no control'. NOTE: There were five other cars parked there and they all got tickets. When we spoke to him he said 'there is a white line and this is a road'. So, we parked next to the two black trucks, AND, Thank you very much got an $80 ticket from the park ranger. There was no sign that said 'do not park' and we didn't know this was the road to the campground and the parking space wasn't blocking the toad. Why are the black trucks important? They were covering a white line which was supposed to indicate the road to the campground. We did find a parking spot next to two big black trucks.

We drove around looking for a handicapped parking spot and couldn't find one.
