1972 Map of Chupadera Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chupadera Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid Socorro County landscape, where the survival of livestock and travelers long depended on scattered groundwater points. The terrain is defined by the drainage network of Arroyo Chupadera and the deeply incised Arroyo Seco, which channel seasonal runoff through the foothills. This 1970s record detail a landscape utilized for ranching, evidenced by the strategic placement of Indian Well, Forest Well, and Spring Well. Beyond the primary arroyos, the map traces smaller features like Cañon Trigo and the simple, functional nomenclature of South Well and East Well. The absence of developed townsites and the reliance on a few rugged Jeep Trail routes underscore the isolation of this high-desert territory during the late twentieth century.
