2020 Map of Prairie Spring

About this map

Prairie Spring and Llano Spring provide the primary water sources in this high-desert region of Socorro County, where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns and military access routes. The area is dominated by the terrain of Cañon Quemado to the northwest and the isolated prominence of Cerro Pardo in the southeast. Located within a government reservation, the land is crisscrossed by a network of White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) roads, including WSMR P Route 18 and WSMR P Route 41, which link various survey sections. Local infrastructure is minimal, consisting largely of cattle tanks like Fisher Tank and the specialized transit routes that serve the military range. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions across the T3S, T4S, and T5S boundaries, illustrating the intersection of natural geography and managed federal territory.
