2020 Map of Arrowhead Well

About this map

Arrowhead Well marks a remote junction in the high desert of Socorro County, where the northern expanse of the Cibola National Forest meets an arid landscape shaped by drainage and storage features. The terrain transitions from the Sand Hills in the northwest toward the more complex topography of Durfee Canyon in the southeast. Historical transportation routes are prominent, with Old Hwy 60 cutting across the central plains while State Hwy 166 angles through the southwestern portion of the sheet. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by scattered catchments like White Lake, Broke Tank, and Durfee Tank. These features suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource management within the public lands of central New Mexico during the early 21st century.
