1957 Map of Goat Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Uranium mining operations define the high desert industry of this 1957 McKinley County landscape, as seen in the clustered workings of the Homestake-Sapin Mine No 15, Kermac Mine No 10, and Silver Spur Mine. This era of mineral extraction is set against a backdrop of traditional land use, where established holdings like Berryhill Ranch and Navarre Ranch sit near massive geologic landmarks. The terrain is dominated by prominent mesas and buttes, including the centrally located Mesa Redonda and the southern Mesa Montanosa. A specialized Airstrip (Private) near Loma de la Gloria highlights the logistical needs of these remote operations. From the deep Rincón Canyon to the heights of Goat Mountain, the map documents a transition point where ancient landforms became the site of mid-century industrial expansion.
