2017 Map of Wrye Peak NW

About this map

Wash Hale Canyon and Hoot Owl Canyon carve through this high-desert landscape in northern Socorro County, reflecting a terrain shaped by intermittent drainage and arid-land ranching. This 2017 study illustrates a network of utility and access routes, including WSMR S Route 3509 and WSMR S Route 3610, which crisscross the expansive rangelands. The presence of water management features such as Glover Tank, Morton Tank, and Washtub Tank indicates the essential infrastructure required for managing livestock in this environment. Situated within various townships including t4s r4e and t4s r5e, the area remains sparsely developed, characterized primarily by these catchment basins and canyons.
