USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Magdalena Mountains and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the mining history and ranching life of Socorro County. The town of Magdalena serves as a prominent hub, connected by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. To the south, the settlement of Kelly sits near a high concentration of industrial activity, where the Waldo Tunnel, Graphic Mine, and Paschal Shaft indicate a landscape shaped by mineral extraction.
