2018 Map of Socorro Mine

About this map

Socorro Mine sits at the northern edge of this La Paz County landscape, where the rugged elevations of the Harquahala Mountains descend into the broad, arid expanse of the Harquahala Plain. The survey reveals a region defined by its mining history and expansive terrain, with transport routes like Hidden Treasure Mine Rd and Sore Finger Rd cutting across the desert floor toward specialized geographical formations like Sore Fingers and the Red Hills. Near the center of the plain, the small settlement of Sunwest provides a focal point for the surrounding township grids. The map illustrates a classic Arizona desert basin and range pattern, where industrial prospects in the high ground are connected by a network of local roads such as Desert Moon Rd and Ave 71 E that serve the valley floor.
