About this map

Industrial copper and iron mining dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Gila National Forest, where massive open pits and intricate shaft networks define the local economy. At the heart of the district, the South Pit Chino Mine is surrounded by support settlements like Santa Rita, Wimsattville, and Turnerville. The geography is a complex weave of heavy industry and small-town life, with numerous schools such as Sully Sch and Union Hill Sch situated alongside massive operations like the Hanover-Bessemer Iron Pits.
