About this map

Brushy Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of Socorro County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and vital water catchment points. The terrain is carved by significant geographic features like Mesa Well Canyon in the northwest and the winding paths of Cuate Canyon and Yellow Dog Canyon further south.

Strategic water management is evident through numerous named tanks scattered across the high desert floor, including Piñon Tank, Forest Tank, and Julie Tank. These features, along with specialized access roads like WSMR S Route 41 and WSMR S Route 3703, reflect the area's specialized use and the essential infrastructure required for managing resources in this environment. The map captures a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating township and range divisions such as t3s r7e and t3s r8e.
