2023 Map of Rayo Hills

About this map

The Rayo Hills and the winding course of the Rancho Viejo Arroyo define this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Socorro and Torrance Counties. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for cattle and ranching, evidenced by scattered livestock reservoirs including Broome Tank, Bryan Tank, and Sais Tank. These features, along with the Red Tanks, suggest a long-standing reliance on seasonal water catchment in a region characterized by dramatic landforms like U-Butte and the Chupadera Gap.
