About this map

The Hidalgo Smelter and several dispersed mining operations define this arid Grant County landscape. In the northern reaches, prospecting history is visible through the German Mine Number 1 and German Mine Number 2, while the eastern terrain contains the Alhambra Mine and Morning Star Group. The reliance on intermittent water sources in this cattle-ranching environment is evident by the high density of corrals and tanks, including the Saddle Corral and Little Rough Tank.

Transportation through the canyons is facilitated by unpaved routes such as Red Rock Rd and Burro Springs Rd, connecting remote sites like the Bar F Ranch and Edgal Place. Water management remains critical for local industry, evidenced by infrastructure like the Eccles Windmill and Cottonwood Windmill. Geologic interests are further highlighted by the Long Lost Brother Deposit near Rice-Graves Mine and the Zelma Prospect situated along the slopes of the Burro Mountains.
