About this map

The Big Burro Mountains and the Continental Divide define this high-elevation landscape within the Gila National Forest. This mapping from the early 1990s reveals an extensive history of resource extraction, with deep-set labels for the Silver Dollar Mine, Austin Amazon Mines, and the notably named Merry Widow Shaft. These workings are interspersed with traditional ranching outposts such as the McCauley Ranch and the Walking X Ranch, alongside the Burro Mountain Homestead. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous canyons, including Whitewater Canyon and Deadman Canyon, which collect at natural water sources like Mud Spring and Grapevine Spring. This document provides a look at the intersection of mining, forestry, and high-desert agriculture in Grant County.
