2010 Map of Lordsburg

About this map

The high desert landscape of Lordsburg is defined by its deep mining roots and transportation corridors. This modern survey captures the city's relationship with its historic mining districts, particularly to the south and west where numerous claims and lode mines are recorded. The area around the settlement of Shakespeare is notably dense with history, featuring the Shakespeare Cemetery and a concentration of old mining sites including the Yellow Jacket and General Jerry Boyle. Further south, the map details the Valedon Mine and the Metropolis Group, illustrating the expansive nature of mineral extraction in this part of New Mexico. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Wildcat Hill and Atwood Hill, while drainage is provided by the Shakespeare Arroyo and Mudhole. Local infrastructure remains anchored by the Lordsburg Post Office and the Lordsburg Municipal Airport, serving as a hub between the historic mining camps of Valedon and Aberdeen.
