HISTORY OF THE SILVER CITY AREA SPANS THE ERASFROM THE ANCIENT MOGOLLON CULTURES TO THE peo-ple of today’s technology age. The Gila Cliff Dwellings NationalMonument and visitor center are perhaps the strongest attrac-tion in the area, providing a visual showcase of how these an-cients lived. The Mimbres River Valley, though once inhabitedby pithouse dwellers is now a scene of orchards, hay fields, cat-tle and horses. The pride of large-scale mining operations is theChino open pit copper mine on NM 152.The 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest provides many of
the reasons for both visiting the area and for making a com-mitment to live here. Lakes in the immediate region includeLake Roberts and Bear Canyon, Bill Evans and Snow Lakes.Additional attractions include the scenic gold mining ghosttown of Mogollon, near Glenwood and City of Rocks StatePark between Silver City and Deming.

SILVER CITY SPRANG TO LIFE DURING THE SUMMERof 1870. The discovery of silver brought thousands of miners, andmerchants followed in their footsteps. The town's founders decided Silver City would be “built tolast.” In 1880, an ordinance was passed requiring masonryconstruction for new buildings. This left behind solid commer-cial buildings, brick Victorian homes, and adobe structures.Devastating floods between 1890 and 1910 washed away theoriginal Main Street and all but one of its handsome brick build-ings. The stately Warren house is the sole survivor. What usedto be Main Street is now known as the Big Ditch.The Silver City Visitor Center and Big Ditch Park provide
gateways into Historic Downtown for visitors and residents. Sil-ver City MainStreet Project has provided comprehensive down-town revitalization services since 1985. This vibrantaward-winning district has over 200 entities including retail andservice businesses, art studios, government services, nonprof-its, churches, and schools. It’s a treasure of a downtown!

WHEN SILVER CITY’S FOUNDING FATHERS CREATED THETOWN SITE IN THE LATTER 1800S, THEY LAID OUT THEgrid like those of many eastern cities – with the streets run-ning due north, south, east and west. They did not realize thatthe new town’s proximity to a north/south running slopewould encourage a natural disaster to occur.In 1895 and again in 1903, flash floodwaters roared down
Silver City’s Main Street, gouging out a huge ditch with a bot-tom some 55 feet below the original street level. As rainscontinued to feed the creek in the years that followed, cot-tonwood trees grew, providing shade.The town’s Main Street was gone, but every adversity car-
ries with it the seed of an opportunity. Working together, localbusinesses, residents and civic organizations created a beau-tiful and unique downtown park.Big Ditch Park can be accessed via the footbridge at the
Silver City Visitor Center parking lot.

WITHOUT THE ASPHALT ON ITS MAIN STREET, DOWNTOWNPINOS ALTOS LOOKS MUCH LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE appeared nearly 150 years ago, when it was inhabited by thelikes of Judge Roy Bean. The town’s amenities, however,have greatly improved in the last century or so. They includea museum, an ice cream parlor, dining establishments andan authentic western bar. Gold was first discovered in the area by Spanish and Mex-
ican miners. Anglos rediscovered the metal in 1859/60, andfor a while the town was called Birchville after the first manto find “color.” Nearly abandoned due to constant fights withthe Apaches, it was re-established in 1866 under its originalSpanish name.Pinos Altos is located along the Continental Divide, six
miles north of Silver City on NM Highway 15.

MINING AND MINERAL PROCESSING HAVE BEEN THEDRIVING FORCES OF BAYARD AND HURLEY SINCE THEearly 1900s, while Arenas Valley has developed into a smallbusiness district and community midway between the miningdistrict and Silver City. With vistas of the kneeling nun andthe mammoth Santa Rita open pit copper mine, as well as theheadframes of historic underground mining operations, thearea provides visitors visual insights into the state’s richestmineral districts. As the number of people involved in miningoperations fluctuates, the communities are focusing more ontheir festivals, the arts and the tourism side of the historicmining operations. In the case of Arenas Valley, uncompli-cated country living is the predominant draw…and a fewunique businesses. Bayard has its coffee and tortilla compa-nies and Hurley boasts a southwest fine arts gallery housedin its historic “company store.” Mining and reclamation stillcontribute significantly to local economies.

LOCATED JUST 34 MILES SOUTH OF SILVER CITY, THE CITYOF ROCKS STATE PARK IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR Afun-filled day trip or picnic with the entire family. The park fea-tures giant monoliths that were formed from the eruption ofan ancient volcano and eroded by the wind over an extendedperiod of time. These huge, unusually shaped boulders areperfect for sightseeing or climbing. For some, the park resembles a medieval village; for others
it is a collection of misshapen, albeit benign, giants. Essen-tially, it is a flat-lying sheet of reddish lava jointed along verticalrather than horizontal planes creating the likeness of a citywith streets and buildings. There are formations which readilysuggest giants’ chairs, prehistoric monsters, or creatures ofimaginative myth.Complete with a desert garden, the park offers picnicking
and camping spots. Adjacent to the formations rises TableMountain, a perfect example of a mesa.

STRADDLING THE GILA RIVER, CLIFF ON THE NORTH SIDEAND GILA ON THE SOUTH, THESE TWO SETTLE-ments together total perhaps 500 habitants and are closeenough that the newcomer might see them as blending intoone town. Don’t be fooled. Each has its own post office, zipcode, and defenders. Cliff has the café, filling station, andschool (K-12); Gila has the hardware store, library and seniorcenter. Both retain an attachment to a rural ambiance basedon irrigation agriculture that is uncommonly lovely, increasinglyrare, and takes you back in time as you drive the Gila Valley,upstream or down, on either side of the river. True tales arestill told here. Tom Lyons’ LC Ranch, based in Gila, was NewMexico’s largest at 1.5 million acres circa 1900. Along nearbyRain Creek, Carl and Blue Rice killed New Mexico’s last grizzlybear in 1931. Meanwhile, the bucolic agricultural vistas willhave you in a reverie of settling down on your own green par-cel, with homegrown food, 5 acres, and independence.

THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGE OF GLENWOOD SITS AT THECONFLUENCE OF WHITEWATER CREEK AND THE SANFrancisco River. The town’s backdrop consists of the ruggedMogollon mountain range, the edge of the nation’s first con-gressionally designated wilderness area, the Gila Wilderness.Just north of Glenwood, a narrow paved road winds
steeply into the mountains to the mining ghost town ofMogollon. Founded in the 1880s, the transient populationvaried from three to six thousand miners. Because of its iso-lation, the town was widely known for its lawlessness. Goldand silver bullion was shipped by mule train to Silver Cityand later by truck. A spaghetti western, My Name is No-body, was filmed in Mogollon.Beyond Mogollon, a warm weather dirt road skirts along
the edge of the Gila Wilderness to a high mountain troutstream called Willow Creek and on to Snow Lake, with alarge, well-maintained forest campground including camptrailer sites.
