Mapimí, Mining town in Durango, Mexico.
The municipality of Mapimí extends across 7,126 square kilometers of desert terrain, featuring mountain ranges and geological formations in northeastern Durango state.
Spanish colonizers established Santiago de Mapimí on July 25, 1598, under the leadership of Jesuit priest Agustin de Espinoza and Captain Antón de Zapata.
Native American tribes including the Tepehuan, Tobosos, and Cocoyones inhabited the region before Spanish settlement, leaving their mark on local traditions.
The city maintains connections to neighboring municipalities through a network of highways, with accommodations and services available for visitors exploring the region.
The Ojuela Mine, located 5 kilometers from Mapimí, contains mineral deposits that draw collectors searching for specimens such as adamite.
