1959 Map of Loma De Las Canas

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the western edge of this Socorro landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure including the Socorro Ditch, Socorro Riverside Drain, and Brown Interior Drain manage the river's flow. Moving eastward into the arid high country, the terrain rises sharply toward the Loma de las Cañas and the peaks of Cerros de Amado. This transition from the fertile river valley to the desert uplands is marked by numerous seasonal drainages like Arroyo del Coyote and Arroyo del Tajo. The presence of the Minas del Chupadero suggests the region's historical mining activity, while named springs such as Ojo del Rancho de Lopez and Ojo de las Cañas highlight the critical water sources that once supported ranching and transit across the Socorro Town Of land grant.
