1999 Map of Santa Rita Mine

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The massive excavations of the Santa Rita Mine dominate this 1999 revision, illustrating a landscape defined by industrial copper mining in Grant County. Extensive mine dumps, tailings ponds, and open pits surround the settlements of Fierro, Hanover, and Wimsattville, while the Turnerville (Site) indicates a community displaced by expanding operations. The map provides significant genealogical value through its documentation of the Hanover Sch and several burial grounds, including the Georgetown Cem near the upper canyons.
