Mindat Locality ID:

11066

Long-form identifier:

mindat:1:2:11066:5

GUID (UUID V4):

Hill states that "[T]he Taylor Creek district is on the west side of the Black Range, about 70 miles in an air line southwest of Magdalena and 48 miles
west of the Rio Grande. The line between Sierra and Socorro counties turns south in the center of the district .... There are no towns in the district."

The Whitewater Canyon stream, is known locally as Taylor Creek, and is the basis for the district name.

The co-ordinates shown reflect the approximate centre of the district at the conjunction of Sierra Co and Soccorro Co.
