1982 Map of Tucson Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Pedro Armendaris Grant No 33 dominates this landscape in Sierra County, illustrating the enduring legacy of Spanish and Mexican land grants in the American Southwest. The terrain is defined by stark volcanic features, labeled simply as Lava, which create a complex environment for the few established outposts like Casa Grande Ranch. Water is the critical factor for survival and navigation in this arid region, marked by a network of isolated points including Tucson Spring, Mc Kinney Well, and the Flowing Well. Near the southwestern corner, Red Lake and the Elephant Butte Station provide further evidence of the sparse but vital human infrastructure in this high-desert setting. The transition between Socorro and Sierra counties is noted by an indefinite boundary, reflecting the open and challenging nature of the local geography.
