About this map

Lone Mountain stands as a central geographic anchor in this Grant County landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of desert drainages including Rio de Arenas and San Vicente Arroyo. The industrial and transportation character of the early 1990s is visible in the southeastern quadrant, where Hurley and North Hurley are situated near the At&SF rail line and a prominent aqueduct.

Regional infrastructure is dominated by the Silver City-Grant County Airport and a series of extractive sites, from unnamed mines and prospects to localized quarries. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the alignment of an Old Railroad Grade and a local Cemetery, illustrating how transportation and utility corridors like the various pipelines followed the natural contours of the terrain toward Cameron Creek and Whitewater Creek.
