1964 Map of Gary

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Mining operations in the northern Pyramid Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape near the Arizona border. Hard-rock mineral extraction is evidenced by a cluster of named claims including the Nellie Gray Mine, Eightyfive Mine, and Minnie Mae Mine, accompanied by specialized infrastructure like Tailings Ponds. This industrial activity contrasts with the surrounding grazing land, where water management is critical; the map identifies numerous family-named livestock wells such as Wright Windmill, Fox Windmill, and Ragsdale Windmill. The low-lying Lordsburg Flats and Tobosa grasslands transition into the alluvial fans of the Animas Valley. Transportation corridors define the region's connectivity, ranging from the historic Butterfield Trail to the heavy rail of the Southern Pacific and the development of Interstate 80.
