1999 Map of Gold Hill

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Mining operations and remote ranching characterize this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Hidalgo and Grant Counties. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks including Apache Mountain, Walker Mountain, and Round Mountain, with the Gila National Forest covering the eastern half of the quadrangle. A cluster of historic extraction sites, such as the Monarch Mine, Golden Cross Mine, and Ruby Mine, are concentrated near the headwaters of Monarch Canyon and Gold Hill. Evidence of the region's ranching heritage is visible through widely dispersed landmarks like Round Mountain Ranch, the W D Ranch, and numerous water sources such as Peterson Spring and Hoodoo Spring. The isolated Gold Hill Cemetery sits near the base of its namesake height, serving as a quiet witness to the generations of miners and ranchers who worked these canyons.
