2020 Map of Puertecito Gap

USGS Topo · Published 2020

About this map

Puertecito Gap and the surrounding high desert terrain in Socorro County define this area of the Magdalena Mountains. The landscape is shaped by dramatic geological formations, notably the prominent Devils Backbone ridge and sharp elevations like Bern Peak and Horse Mtn. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by a network of catchments including Escondido Tank, Buffalo Tank, and Puertecito Tank, which support the livestock and wildlife moving through the canyons.
