2023 Map of Cerro De La Campana

About this map

The arid landscape of Socorro County is defined here by its isolation and the influence of the White Sands Missile Range, which covers a significant portion of this terrain. High-desert landmarks such as Cerro de la Campana and the prominent Sand Mountain rise above the surrounding flats, providing distinctive vertical relief in an area primarily used for military and ranching purposes. Near the northern edge of the survey, the settlements of Tokay and Kinney Wells represent rare points of human habitation in a region characterized by expansive rangelands and sparse water sources. The presence of numerous designated routes, such as WSMR P Route 5 and WSMR S Route 344, underscores the area's continued role as a controlled corridor for military operations and logistics within the larger New Mexico desert system.
