2023 Map of Puertecito Gap

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Magdalena Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, anchoring a terrain defined by sharp ridges and seasonal water catchments. The central geologic spine, including the Devils Backbone, divides the drainage patterns between Puertecito Canyon to the north and the wide expanse of Milligan Gulch in the southwest. This 2023 survey illustrates a land primarily managed for livestock and resource conservation, evidenced by the numerous named catchments like Buffalo Tank, Will Tank, and Mud Tank that pepper the arid basins.
