There are many of these in the area. I've found over 100 of them with Google Earth. There used to be over 200 of them in a 12 mi x 16 mi grid, spaced every mile. Many, especially in Casa Grande and Arizona City, have been removed over the years as housing tracts, roads, and other construction has occurred.
