About this map

The massive Santa Rita Mine dominates the center of this landscape, its expansive open-pit operations and tailing piles illustrating the scale of copper mining in Grant County during the late 20th century. This industrial core is surrounded by several company towns and historic settlements, including Fierro, Hanover, and Wimsattville. The map captures the infrastructure of the mining district, noting specific landmarks like the Continental Mine, the Kearney Mine, and the Princess Shaft. To the south, the community of Bayard marks the edge of the mining activity near the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR line.
