1955 Map of Orogrande North

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Jarilla Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape, serving as a hub for early 20th-century mining activity. This mid-century survey reveals a network of workings concentrated in the hills, including the Iron Queen Mine, Alice Mine, and Mamie Baird Mine, with areas of Tailings marking the extraction legacy. The settlement of Orogrande sits at the southern edge, supported by the critical infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad and an extensive Aqueduct system cutting across the Tularosa Basin.
