2010 Map of Chupadera Spring

About this map

Chupadera Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid stretch of Socorro County, where seasonal drainages define the landscape. The geography is dominated by a network of dry washes, including the Chupadera Arroyo, Alamito Arroyo, and the aptly named Arroyo Seco. These features, alongside Cañon Trigo, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the high desert. Modern infrastructure is represented by WSMR P Route 9, which navigates through the terrain. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century, showing the intersection of natural desert landmarks and established access routes within this sparsely populated region of New Mexico.
