The famous Santa Bárbara mine of the Huancavelica mercury district, central Perú, is briefly described for geology and mining history. Examination of historic underground maps from the 18th century and new surface geological mapping demonstrates that the ore of the Santa Bárbara mine was controlled by a major north-south oriented fault. The alteration assemblage accompanying the cinnabar is described, and timing relations given to show the deposit formed at about 7 million years ago. The historic maps are compared to the major underground mine collapses, production, and interplay of mine administration with politics between Huancavelica, Lima, and Madrid. In particular, features of a 1742 map and a French-drafted mine map from approximately...
