2014 Map of Ajo South

About this map

Mexican Town and Rowood sit at the northern edge of this desert landscape, directly adjacent to the industrial features of the copper mining district. The topographic data captures the engineered landforms of Concentrator Hill and the South Dam Tailings Pond, illustrating the massive scale of earth-moving operations that have defined the local economy and geography. South of the main settlements, the terrain rises sharply into the Little Ajo Mountains, featuring distinctive landmarks such as Locomotive Rock and Black Mtn.
