1985 Map of Silver Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Rio Salado carves through the central landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the arid terrain is defined by deep drainages and volcanic rises. Much of the eastern portion is occupied by the Sevilleta National Wildlife Reguge, a protected expanse that borders the historic Grant Boundary. In the south, the intersection of Silver Creek and La Jencia Creek marks a confluence of intermittent watercourses below the prominent peak of Cerro Colorado. This 1985 provisional study documents a region of intricate canyon systems, including Mule Canyon and La Cueva Canyon, which highlight the erosion patterns of the Socorro County wilderness. Notable landmarks for local research include the isolated Tortola Spring and named arroyos like Arroyo Rendija, which served as vital reference points in this high-desert environment before modern development.
