About this map

Silver City and the surrounding high desert of the Arizona-New Mexico borderlands center this regional study, which highlights a landscape shaped by mining and cattle ranching. Large-scale industrial footprints are visible at the Tyrone Mine, Santa Rita Mine, and the Chino Pit, illustrating the mineral wealth that drove development in Grant County. Further west, the vast Willcox Playa and the Sulphur Springs Valley define the arid lowlands, while the Gila National Forest and Coronado National Forest protect the mountainous horizons.
