About this map

Oslo Mine and the Major Mine mark a cluster of industrial activity in the southwestern corner of this Lincoln County landscape, just as the Red Wing Number Three Mine and Red Wing Number Four Mine suggest a legacy of mineral extraction. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Copeland Canyon, Peachtree Canyon, and Michallas Canyon, which channel toward the Arroyo Seco.

Large family holdings are the primary mark of human settlement here, with the Armstrong Ranch, Purcella Ranch, and Roberts Ranch spaced across the drainage basins. Transportation is limited to narrow corridors like County Rd-A055 and several Forest Service routes including Usfs 156. Isolated water features like Lonetree Lake and the Middle Arroyo provide critical points of reference in this arid ranching and mining district.
