2010 Map of Orogrande North
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Mining operations dot the foothills of the Jarilla Mountains in this desert landscape of southern New Mexico. The small settlement of Orogrande serves as a focal point near the southern edge of the sheet, connected by Meade Ave and Oregrande Range Camp Rd. The terrain is characterized by the presence of numerous small-scale mining prospects that reflect the area's geological history, including the Iron Queen Mine, Garnet Mine, and the Alice Mine. To the north, the landscape is interrupted by Water Canyon and the Monte Carlo Gap, while the settlement of Turquoise sits to the northeast. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where local infrastructure like County Rd-A003 navigates between industrial sites and the natural desert drainage systems.
