The high-altitude mining and ranching country of Socorro County is centered here on the town of Magdalena, a historic western railhead and livestock shipping point. Just to the south, the settlement of Kelly sits at the base of the mountains, accompanied by the Kelly Cem, preserving the history of what was once a booming lead, silver, and zinc district. The landscape is dominated by the steep, dramatic rises of the Magdalena Mountains, where North Baldy and Magdalena Peak overlook deep drainages like Hop Canyon and Kelly Gulch.
