2017 Map of Salinas Peak NW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Harriet Ranch and Fuller Ranch anchor this arid landscape along the border of Socorro and Sierra Counties. The terrain is defined by isolated water sources such as Anderson Tank and Broke Tank, which were essential for ranching operations in this high-desert environment. A few named wells, including Blakemore Well and Foster Well, further illustrate the vital importance of groundwater management in the region. The topography rises toward prominent natural features including Salinas Peak, Big Gyp Mountain, and Fairview Mountain, while Fence Canyon cuts through the shifting elevations. Transportation in this portion of the basin is limited to utilitarian routes like Fuller Rd and the military-associated WSMR P Route 5, reflecting the controlled and pastoral nature of the land during this modern period.
