About this map

The Chupadera Mountains dominate the western horizon of this Socorro County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the managed water systems of the Rio Grande valley. To the east, the Pedro Armendariz Grant Number 34 marks a significant historical land division, while irrigation infrastructure like the Elmendorf Ditch and San Antonio Ditch illustrates the vital role of water management in this arid region.

Transportation and recreation are defined by a network of trails and roads, including the Chupadera Wilderness Tr and the Marsh Overlook Tr, which provide access to the wilderness areas. The presence of Elmendorf Siding along the corridor of State Highway 1 points to the area's rail and road history. Local memorialization is seen in the John Taylor Mem Tr, while natural drainage features such as Tiffany Canyon and the Rio Viejo channel seasonal runoff through the foothills.
