Ladron Peak dominates this Socorro County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of drainage systems and high desert terrain. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Monte Negro and the deep incisions of La Cueva Canyon. Water sources, while sparse, are clearly documented at Yeso Springs, which feeds into the Cañada Colorado drainage. This 2020 edition provides a precise look at the township and range divisions within the Public Land Survey System, including t3n r3w and t2n r2w. Lowland features such as Mariano Draw and the distinct northern cuts of Cañon de Norte highlight the natural pathways through this arid region. The presence of Co RD 12 in the northeast corner represents the primary modern access point through this rugged portion of New Mexico.
