About this map

The Tyrone Mine and its associated industrial infrastructure dominate the high desert terrain of southwestern New Mexico in the first decade of the 2000s. This survey illustrates the proximity of modern residential developments like Silver Acres and the planned community of Tyrone to large-scale extraction operations. The landscape is a mix of heavy industry and natural drainage systems, where Mangas Creek and Oak Grove Creek cut through the foothills of the Little Burro Mountains.

Mineral exploration is evidenced by smaller historical sites such as the Virtue Mine and the Silver King-Mystery Groups, while aviation needs are met by the Turner Ridgeport Airport. The map also traces an extensive Pipe Line and several rural ranching access points like Bald Mountain Ranch Rd, showing how resource extraction, private landholding, and residential expansion coexist in this part of Grant County.
