Tucson Spring and the Victoria Land and Cattle Co Mine characterize this arid landscape in Socorro County, New Mexico. The area's land use is tied to ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Casa Grande Ranch. The terrain is sparsely developed, centered on these few water and industrial points that supported the rural economy of the high desert at the turn of the 21st century. This map documents the essential geography required for cattle operations and mining in a region where such landmarks are the primary indicators of human activity and settlement.
