About this map

The Little Burro Mountains dominate this Grant County landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop for the residential and industrial areas of southwestern New Mexico. The community of Silver Acres sits near the San Vicente Arroyo, while further west, the Phelps Dodge Mine indicates the significant mining footprint that has long influenced the local economy. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Graveyard Draw, Pipe Line Draw, and Brick Kiln Gulch, which channel seasonal runoff through the arid environment.

Local landmarks like Indian Peak and Bald Mtn rise above the Mangas Valley, where the waters of Mangas Cr and Oak Grove Cr follow natural contours. Modern infrastructure is evident in the residential street networks of Tyrone, with roads such as Malachite St and Cuprite St nodding to the area’s geological wealth. This survey captures the transition from high-desert peaks to the established mining and residential centers of the region.
