About this map

Silver City serves as the central hub of this early twentieth-century survey, a landscape defined by the industrial and military activity of the New Mexico territory. To the east, the Fort Bayard Military Reservation and the sprawling operations at Santa Rita highlight the region's significance, with the Hanover Junction and the Union Hill Siding facilitating the transport of materials along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The rugged topography is etched with numerous gulches and canyons, where small settlements like Fierro, Hanover, and Georgetown are clustered around productive mineral deposits.
