1950 Map of Silver City

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Silver City sits at the base of the high timbered country where the Continental Divide winds through the Pinos Altos Mountains. This 1950 field check captures the town's expansion toward the foothills, showing the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad terminus and local institutional landmarks like St Marys Academy and the inactive Cottage Sanatorium. The landscape is defined by its mining and geological history, clearly visible in the Quarries at Boston Hill and the expanse of Chloride Flat to the west.
