About this map

Silver City stands as the central hub in this high-altitude landscape where mining and military history converge at the foot of the Gila National Forest. The map documents a busy industrial corridor during the early 20th century, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and its Deming and Silver City Branch serving vital camps like Santa Rita, Hanover, and Fierro. These settlements, alongside the Fort Bayard Military Reservation and its associated Forest Nursery, highlight the region's complex role as a center for extraction and government administration.
