About this map

The massive North Pit Chino Mine and South Pit Chino Mine dominate this central New Mexico landscape, illustrating the intense industrial copper mining operations of the mid-20th century. Clustered around these excavations are the worker settlements and support towns of Santa Rita, Turnerville, and Wimsattville, which contrast with the higher-elevation wilderness of the Gila National Forest to the north.
