1985 Map of Dwyer

About this map

Mimbres Hot Springs and the surrounding high-desert canyons define this 1985 survey of Grant County. The Mimbres River flows through the center of the sheet, supporting the small settlements of Swartz and Dwyer (Faywood PO). The landscape is deeply incised by a network of drainage features including Hot Springs Canyon, Donahue Canyon, and the extensive Gavilan Arroyo. In the southern reaches, unnamed Prospects suggest historical mineral exploration near Cordwood Draw, while the northern portion is dominated by the protected lands of the Gila National Forest. This topographic study captures the transition between the riparian river corridor and the arid, broken terrain of the surrounding mountains, providing a clear record of the area's roads and isolated springs like Goat Spring as they existed in the mid-1980s.
