1992 Map of Tyrone
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
The Continental Divide winds through the southwestern corner of Grant County, anchoring a landscape defined by the massive industrial footprint of the Tyrone Mine. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates the juxtaposition of intensive resource extraction with expanding residential developments like Silver Acres and the modern town of Tyrone. While the mining operations dominate the terrain with numerous mine dumps and water-related infrastructure, the map also captures the older, original Tyrone (Site) near Brick Kiln Gulch, providing a critical reference for local historians. Significant institutional and logistical landmarks are present at the northern edge of the quadrangle, including the Harrison A Schmitt Sch and the Turner Ridgeport Airport. The Little Burro Mountains rise to the west, where Indian Peak and Bald Mountain overlook a network of canyons including Negro Canyon and Redrock Canyon.
