2010 Map of Organ

About this map

Organ sits at the foot of the San Augustin Mountains in this early 21st-century survey, serving as a gateway between the desert floor and the high peaks. The landscape is defined by its deep mining heritage, with dozens of named prospects and workings concentrated on the slopes north of San Augustin Pass. From the Merrimac Mine to the Black Prince Mine, the density of claims like the Iron Mask and Ophelia Claims suggests an era of intensive mineral exploration in the high desert terrain.
