Constellation is a former mining town in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.[2] It has an estimated elevation of 3,560 feet (1,090 m) above sea level.[1] The town was started to support the Monte Cristo Mine, which was later joined by several other mines. In 1925 the town had a post office and some 250 residents, but no trace of it is left, though ruins of the various mines surround the ghost town site.[3] [4]
