2013 Map of La Jara Peak
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
La Jara Peak and the surrounding high desert terrain of Socorro County dominate this landscape within the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage network where the Rio Salado cuts through the territory, joined by numerous named arroyos and canyons like Cañon de la Cienaga and Carrizozo Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by ranching and water scarcity, marked by isolated outposts such as Benjamin Ranch and the Rancho de los Chavez. The prominence of features like Mesa de la Cienaga and Sierra Lucero highlights the dramatic verticality of the area. Essential water sources for local livestock and wildlife are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Juan De Dios Tank, El Chupadero Spring, and Bull Tank, reflecting the essential infrastructure required for survival in this arid environment.
