2020 Map of Pink Peak

About this map

Chupadera Mesa dominates the central topography of this Socorro County landscape, a prominent high plateau defined by its complex drainage systems and shifting elevations. The map reveals a remote environment where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by the presence of Monk Tank in the western reaches. Deep erosional features like Lutz Canyon and Lobo Canyon cut through the northern terrain, while Red Canyon and Taylor Canyon define the southern sections. This 2020 survey captures a territory managed for modern utility and defense, marked by the transit corridor of WSMR S Route 3506, which traverses the high ground. The underlying Public Land Survey System grid highlights the organized township and range divisions typical of the New Mexico interior.
