1989 Map of Socorro Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Harquahala Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising sharply from the Mc Mullen Valley floor. The terrain reveals a significant history of resource extraction, particularly concentrated around the San Marcos Mine and the White Marble Mine. Numerous prospects, adits, and mine shafts are scattered across the slopes, indicating a landscape heavily shaped by mineral exploration. In the lower elevations, the influence of water management is visible through an extensive network of levees designed to control the flow of Centennial Wash as it moves toward the valley basin. Transportation and travelers are served by a roadside park and a trailer park along the highway corridor, while Tenahatchipi Pass provides a natural transit point through the high ground. The presence of the Usmm 2408 mineral monument further underscores the importance of mining claims in this corner of La Paz County.
