1955 Map of Organ

About this map

The settlement of Organ sits at the foot of the San Augustin Mountains in this mid-century survey of the high desert. The map captures a landscape defined by the intersection of early mining history and the emergence of the modern defense era. Numerous extraction sites like the Black Prince Mine, Silver King Mine, and Empire Zinc Mine dot the slopes of Mineral Hill and Baylor Peak, providing evidence of the region's hard-rock prospecting heritage.
