1926 Map of Orange Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Peloncillo Mountains dominates this 1920s tactical revision, where the Arizona New Mexico border meets the Animas Valley. The rugged terrain is deeply etched by drainages like Doubtful Canyon and Willow Springs Canyon, revealing a land defined by its scarce water sources and subterranean wealth. Mining operations including the Volcano Mine and El Oro Mine are positioned along the eastern slopes, while the southern flats near San Simon show a dense concentration of named homesteads and specialized agricultural infrastructure.
