1962 Map of Silver City
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Silver City and the high desert of the Arizona-New Mexico borderland reveal a mid-century landscape dominated by copper extraction and rail transport. The industrial footprint is evident at the Chino Mine and Banner Mining Company, while the Tyrone Mine stands as a silent marker of earlier ventures. This era shows the established connectivity provided by the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which linked the agricultural centers of Safford and Willcox to the broader mining district. From the desert expanse of the Willcox Playa to the timbered heights of the Gila National Forest, the map captures a transition point where rugged terrain meets a complex network of federal lands and county divisions. These include the Fort Huachuca Military Reservation and the shared boundaries of Grant and Hidalgo counties.
