About this map

The Cibola National Forest and the high desert of Socorro County converge in this mid-1990s study of the Scholle area. The landscape is defined by its water sources and historical land divisions, including the northern portions of the Casa Colorada Grant and the winding course of the Arroyo Abo. Transportation and resource extraction are central to the region's character, anchored by Scholle Siding along the rail line and the presence of the Abo Mine and Gabaldon Mine.

Strategic infrastructure, such as the Priest Canyon Road and a Communication Tower, punctuates the terrain near the Manzano Mountains. Numerous natural springs, including Dripping Spring, Saladito Springs, and Coyote Spring, illustrate the critical water network that sustained local ranching and mining operations. This map serves as a detailed record of the tri-county borderlands where Valencia, Torrance, and Socorro counties intersect.
