About this map

Ladron Peak dominates this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, anchoring a terrain defined by deep canyons and intermittent watercourses. The 2013 survey reveals a sparsely settled ranching environment, where the Lazy C Bar J Ranch stands as a primary point of human activity amidst the topographical complexity of Monte Negro and the winding path of La Cueva Canyon.

Drainage patterns are clearly articulated through features like Cañon del Alamito, Mariano Draw, and Cañada Popotosa, indicating the critical role of seasonal water flow in this arid region. The presence of Yeso Springs provides a rare permanent water source name on the eastern slope, while Co Road 12 provides the primary transit corridor through the northern sections of the township and range grid.
