2017 Map of Ladron Peak

About this map

Ladron Peak dominates the center of this Socorro County landscape, its high elevations giving way to a network of drainage features and canyons. The topographical relief is particularly striking around Monte Negro and La Cueva Canyon, where the steep gradients of the high desert are clearly defined by the 2017 surveying data. This modern digital record tracks the sparse but vital water sources of the region, such as Yeso Springs, which serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment.
