1965 Map of Chise

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Chise and the surrounding high desert of the Sierra Cuchillo range define this 1960s landscape, where small-scale mining and ranching persist in a complex network of canyons. The map documents a cluster of mining claims concentrated along the western slopes, including the Vindicator Mine, Confidence Mines, and the aptly named Prospectors Delight Mine. These extraction points are connected by a system of primitive routes and a Jeep Trail, illustrating the difficult logistics of mid-century prospecting in the New Mexico backcountry.
