About this map

Silver City and the mining operations of southwestern New Mexico anchor this high-desert landscape during a period of significant industrial activity. The massive open pits of the Tyrone Mine and Chino Mine are clearly delineated, illustrating the region's deep connection to copper extraction. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide as it winds through the Pinos Altos Range and Gila Mountains, while to the west, the Gila River and San Simon River basins support agricultural settlements like Safford and Solomon.
