Vicks Peak and the high ridges of the San Mateo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, New Mexico. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages including Smith Canyon, Holdup Canyon, and Nogal Canyon that cut through the volcanic terrain. Evidence of historic prospectors and ranchers is found in the scattered structures and working sites that dot the map, such as Cooks Cabin, Myers Cabin, and Shipman Cabin.
