2011 Map of Iron Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
The settlement of Grafton and the high peaks of Iron Mountain anchor this survey of the New Mexico interior, a landscape defined by its deep mining history. A concentration of claims surrounds the northern slopes of Iron Mountain, including the Tungsten Reef Iron Mountain Mine, the Scheelemite Gem Mine, and the Lucky Strike. The map reveals a complex network of resource extraction that includes the Republic Mine and Great Republic Mine to the west, and the Invincible Mine to the east. Topographic features such as Sheep Canyon, Wildhorse Canyon, and Poverty Creek dictate the placement of ranching outposts like Sage Ranch and Moore Ranch. This survey provides a precise account of the industrial and agricultural footprint in Socorro County, from the Iron Mountain Detention Dam to the various shafts and strikes scattered through the canyons.
