1995 Map of La Jara Peak
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
La Jara Peak stands as a prominent high point in this 1995 survey of Socorro County, anchoring a landscape defined by deep canyons and critical water sources. The western portion of the map is dominated by the Cibola National Forest, where the terrain drops sharply into Cañon de los Negros and Carrizozo canyon. This arid environment is punctuated by several named springs and catchments essential for ranching, including El Chupadero Spring, La Jara Spring, and Juan de Dios Tank. Historical land use is evident through the presence of established homesteads such as Benjamin Ranch and the Rancho de los Chavez near Monument Hill. Cattle ranching infrastructure like the Bull Pasture Corral and Alamito Well highlights the region's long-standing connection to livestock management in the high desert of New Mexico.
