Mining operations and high-desert transportation corridors dominate this mid-century survey of the Arizona-New Mexico borderlands. The region's industrial backbone is clearly visible through the concentration of heavy mineral extraction sites like the Chino Mine, Empire Zinc Mine, and the holdings of the Banner Mining Company. These enterprises are linked by the Southern Pacific RR and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR, which navigate the terrain between the Peloncillo Mountains and the Burro Mountains.
