2017 Map of Little San Pascual Mountain

About this map

Little San Pascual Mountain dominates the northwestern corner of this Socorro County landscape, its steep contours rising sharply from the surrounding desert floor. This high desert terrain is largely defined by its sparse water sources and topographic isolation, characterized by the presence of Shorty Tank north of the mountain peak. The area is gridded by public land survey boundaries such as t7s r1e and t8s r2e, reflecting the structured management of this arid environment. This 2017 study captures a region where natural relief and vital water catchments are the primary landmarks for those navigating or managing the land in central New Mexico.
