2010 Map of Hurley East

About this map

Hurley sits on the western edge of this High Desert landscape, where the town's industrial legacy is clearly defined by large-scale infrastructure. The eastern vicinity of the settlement is dominated by the massive Tailings Pond complex and the Kennicott Reservoir Lake Number 1 Dam, features that trace the footprint of regional copper mining operations. Beyond these man-made structures, the terrain is carved by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Whitewater Creek and the long stretch of Lampbright Draw. These drainage patterns, including Rustler Canyon and Martin Canyon, reveal the natural topography of Grant County before it gives way to the industrial development near the town site. The map captures the significant environmental interface between the residential community and the extensive mining facilities that have shaped the local economy and geography.
