1982 Map of Nogal Peak

About this map

Nogal Peak and the high mountain ridges of the Lincoln National Forest dominate this landscape during the early 1980s. The map illustrates a region defined by its transition from industrial extraction to alpine recreation. To the north, the legacy of New Mexico mining is visible through a cluster of sites including Parsons Mine, the Silver Spoon Mine, and the Great Western Mine. To the south, the economy shifts toward the slopes of the Sierra Blanca Ski Area, with its network of ski lifts near Apache Bowl and Lookout Mountain.
