About this map

Sierra Larga rises as the central topographic anchor in this high-desert portion of Socorro County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage patterns and significant summits like Cerro Venado and the Bordo Atravesado escarpment. These geological features are situated within a managed landscape where military or government infrastructure is evident through a network of restricted access roads, including WSMR S Route 3803 and WSMR S Route 3617.

The scarcity of surface water in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Coyote Spring, a vital landmark in an area largely characterized by its topographic relief rather than permanent settlements. The map illustrates the intersection of several townships, including t2s r3e, t2s r4e, t3s r3e, and t3s r4e, providing a precise grid for land navigation across this high-altitude terrain.
