1996 Map of Vanar

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Vanar sits at the intersection of a sprawling transportation and utility corridor on this high-desert borderland. This 1996 record documents the crossing of the San Simon River and the complex industrial geography of the Peloncillo Mountains foothills. Multiple pipelines and an Old Railroad Grade trace the landscape, supporting infrastructure like a Pumping Station and highway Rest Areas. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Steins Mountain and Attorney Mountain, where the earth is scarred by decades of mineral exploration. Numerous Mine Shafts, Prospects, and Adits are concentrated in the canyon walls above Steins Creek, particularly in Wood Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of the mining and utility networks that defined this remote section of the Arizona-New Mexico state line at the close of the twentieth century.
