USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Granite Gap Mountain and the surrounding high desert peaks dominate this Hidalgo County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1960s. Mining activity is prominent throughout the rocky terrain, with the Crystal Mine, Ward Mine, and Vesley Mine located near the natural pass of Granite Gap. These industrial sites are juxtaposed with the agricultural infrastructure of the Animas Valley, where scattered cattle operations like the McCarty Ranch and Weatherby Ranch depend on remote water sources such as the Richardson Windmill.
