1955 Map of Orogrande North

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Mining operations in the southern reaches of Otero County define this mid-century survey of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The Jarilla Mountains rise sharply in the west, harboring a cluster of mineral sites including the Iron Queen Mine, Alice Mine, and Maggie Baird Mine. These peaks are punctuated by natural features like Monte Carlo Gap and Water Canyon, while the valley floor shows the infrastructure required to support life and industry in an arid climate, specifically the Aqueduct and scattered tanks like Hard Luck Tank.
