2023 Map of Paraje Well

About this map

Rio Grande wetlands dominate the center of this Socorro County landscape, where the river's broad valley cuts through a series of rugged western drainages. The area is characterized by an intricate network of arroyos and canyons that descend from the high ground of the west toward the river basin, including Quates Canyon and Simon Canyon. The solitary presence of Paraje Well on the eastern terrace above the floodplain suggests the historical importance of localized water sources in this arid environment.
