2021 Map of Socorro Mine

About this map

Socorro Mine sits at the northern edge of this La Paz County map, tucked into the rugged slopes of the Harquahala Mountains. This area illustrates the transition from high desert peaks to the broad, flat expanse of the Harquahala Plain to the south. The small settlement at Sunwest serves as a localized point of interest within this arid landscape, which is navigated by a network of desert roads including Salome Rd and the evocatively named Hidden Treasure Mine Rd. To the west and south, the terrain is marked by distinctive formations such as the Red Hills and the craggy outcrops of Sore Fingers, highlighting a geography defined by historical mining activity and sparse desert habitation.
