2021 Map of Socorro Peak

About this map

The settlement of Love sits at a crossroads in the western Arizona desert, marking a transition between the valley floor and the steep rises of the mountain interior. This 2021 survey illustrates the sparse human footprint in a landscape dominated by natural elevation, centered around the prominent summit of Socorro Peak. The map reveals a network of desert tracks and highway infrastructure that provides access to this isolated terrain, illustrating the modern management of public lands in La Paz County. The lack of dense settlement emphasizes the significance of these few named landmarks for navigation and local history in the high desert.
