1999 Map of Iron Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Grafton sits along the western edge of this territory, representing the mining history that shaped the Black Range Ranger District. This 1999 revision of 1960s data details a landscape defined by steep drainage systems like Poverty Creek and Turkey Creek flowing away from the heights of Iron Mountain and Reilly Peak. The map provides a precise record of the mining claims that once drew prospectors to these canyons, including the Minnehaha Mine, Republic Mine, and Blackhawk Mine. Within the Gila National Forest, the intersection of Catron and Sierra counties meets the Second Standard Parallel South, grounding the map in the formal surveying history of the New Mexico territory. Local landmarks such as Moore Ranch and Wildhorse mark the sparse but significant human presence in this rugged interior.
