1992 Map of Wind Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Little Burro Mountains and Big Burro Mountains converge in this high-desert landscape of southwestern New Mexico. Industrial activity dominates the eastern half of the map, centered on the massive operations at the Tyrone Mine and several neighboring open pits, including the Liberty Bell Mine. A complex system of levees and multiple Tailings Ponds occupy the Mangas Valley, illustrating the significant environmental impact of late-20th-century extraction. In contrast, the western portion of the quadrangle belongs to the Gila National Forest, where the terrain is carved by rugged drainage systems like Sawmill Canyon and Maverick Canyon. The Continental Divide cuts across the southern edge, marking the hydrological crest between these industrial and protected forest lands. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered points like McCain Spring and Silver Dale Spring.
