Kelly New Mexico - 1915
From a panorama of Kelly, Magdalena Mountains and Elephant Butte, look west from dump of Juanita Tunnel. Magdalena Mountain in right middle ground is also called Picture Mountain because the round patch of talus surrounded by brush on the northeast slope resembles a human head. The mountain is capped with pink rhyolite, which merges into the dike that forms the high cliff on the east slope. The dike strikes north parallel to the plane of the picture. The horizontal layers to the left of the dike represent the glassy top of the upper andesite.
The same formations constitute Elephant Butte, on the extreme left and the hill in the southwest corner of the district (photos 182 and 183). The low mounds in the valley between Magdalena Mountain and Elephant Butte are remnants of pediments equivalent to lower pediments with the district. Socorro County, New Mexico. July 1915.
