2013 Map of Paraje Well

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor cuts through the high desert of Socorro County in this 2013 survey, which illustrates the intersection of riparian geography and the arid plains. To the east lies the vast, legendary stretch of the Jornada del Muerto, a landscape shaped by historical transit and water scarcity. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems such as Simon Canyon, Milligan Gulch, and Crawford Hollow that feed toward the river valley. A singular landmark, Paraje Well, stands as a testament to the essential role of water sources in this dry region, anchoring a landscape otherwise marked by the rugged breaks of Sheep Canyon and Silver Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of the public land survey system, showing township and range boundaries including t8s r3w and t8s r2w.
