1940 Map of Orogrande
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Jarilla Mountains rise sharply above the Tularosa Valley, serving as the primary anchor for this 1940 survey. The landscape is defined by its mining history, centered on the settlement of Orogrande, where several operations are documented including the Iron Queen Mine, Garnet Mine, and Alice Mine. A CCC Camp located near the townsite reflects the era's federal investment in the region, while the Southern Pacific railroad provides the essential transportation link through the desert corridor, passing through Elwood and Turquoise.
