2020 Map of Cooper Canyon

About this map

Chupadera Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this Socorro County region, where the terrain is carved by a complex network of drainage systems. The map detail highlights the prominence of Iron Mine Ridge and the winding course of Aguila Canyon, providing a clear look at the geological transitions between these high mesas and the deep canyons below. Evidence of early state-level land management appears in the labeling of School Section Draw, a name typically indicating lands historically reserved for the support of public education.
