2020 Map of Little San Pascual Mountain

About this map

Little San Pascual Mountain dominates the western portion of this high desert terrain in Socorro County, anchoring a landscape marked by dramatic elevation changes. The land is primarily defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t6s r1e, t7s r1e, and t8s r1e, which indicate the systematic division of this New Mexico territory. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, with Shorty Tank serving as one of the few named hydrological features in the northern reaches. This 2020 survey provides a clear view of the topographical contours and the network of primitive roads and trails that navigate the basin floor and mountain slopes east of the Rio Grande corridor.
