1944 Map of Oro Blanco

About this map

Oro Blanco sits at the heart of this wartime survey, which captures the rugged international borderlands during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the San Luis Mts and Black Peak, yet the map's true character is found in its extensive mining history. Numerous defunct operations, including the Yellow Jacket Mine (abandoned) and Old Glory Mine (abandoned), are scattered across the Coronado National Forest, illustrating a once-active mineral economy that had largely quieted by this era.
