About this map

Harquahala Mountains dominate the northern portion of this arid Arizona landscape, where mining activity defined the local economy through much of the 20th century. The Socorro Mine sits at the heart of an intensive mineral district, surrounded by numerous Adits, Prospects, and Mine Shaft locations. To the south, the terrain transitions into the broad Harquahala Plain, where water management becomes the primary feature. A complex system of Check Dams and a prominent Road On Levee manage the flow of the Centennial Wash as it moves across the desert floor. Distinctive landforms like the Red Hills and the oddly named Sore Fingers provide clear landmarks for researchers and hikers navigating this corner of La Paz County.
