1951 Map of Burro Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Big Burro Mountains define this mid-century landscape in Grant County, where the Continental Divide winds through high peaks like Burro Peak and Jacks Mtn. This survey captures a post-war mining district in transition, as numerous historical extraction sites are noted as inactive. Prospective researchers can locate the Red Hill Turquoise Mine, the Spar Hill Mine, and the Austin Amazon Mines, reflecting the region's rich mineral history. The land within the Gila National Forest is dotted with several family-held agricultural operations, including the Burro Mountain Homestead, Silsby Ranch, and McCauley Ranch. These homesteads and ranches, such as the Walking X Ranch, are connected by primitive roads and drainage systems like Arastre Gulch and Whitetail Canyon, illustrating the isolated character of Southwest New Mexican ranching life during this era.
