1937 Map of Santa Rita

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The copper-rich mining districts of Grant County define this 1937 survey, centering on the massive industrial operations at Santa Rita. The landscape is a complex network of rail lines and canyons, where the Central and Union Hill railroads snake through the terrain to serve mining outposts and settlements. At the southern edge of the map, the industrial character is underscored by Vanadium PO and Hanover Junc, while the northern peaks include Hanover Mtn overlooking the town of Fierro. Cultural landmarks like the Sully Sch and a large Cem near Bull Hill indicate the established communities supporting these mines. To the west, the sprawling Fort Bayard Veterans Administration Facility sits at the edge of the Gila National Forest, providing a striking contrast between institutional architecture and the surrounding peaks of Avalanche Pk and Century Hill.
