About this map

Canyon Mill, Red Mill, and Tomasino Mill define the industrial and agricultural character of this Socorro County landscape. This high-desert terrain is marked by essential water management features, including several named tanks such as Red Tank, Test Well Tank, and Hidden Tank. These improvements supported ranching and milling operations within a network of canyons and arroyos. Drainage systems like Pascual Arroyo and Salas Arroyo cut through the land, leading toward significant geological formations such as Two Butte and the deep recesses of Sepultura Canyon. A complex grid of roads, including WSMR S Route 3810 and Co Rd 105, connects these disparate points of activity, illustrating the ongoing utility of the White Sands Missile Range periphery and the local ranching infrastructure in the early 21st century.
