1990 Map of Eagle Eye Peak

About this map

Eagle Eye Peak and the high desert ridges of the Gila National Forest dominate this southwestern New Mexico landscape on the border of Grant and Hidalgo counties. Mapping in 1990 reveals an area defined by mineral exploration and livestock management, with numerous prospects, mine shafts, and the Malone Mines clustered along Brock Ridge. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems including Thompson Canyon, Ray Canyon, and Knight Canyon, where man-made infrastructure like check dams, levees, and corrals indicate active land use for cattle ranching.
