2013 Map of Apache Gap

About this map

The Caballo Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in New Mexico, where deep drainages like Apache Canyon and Lead Mine Canyon cut through the arid terrain. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the network of essential water sources used by local ranchers, including Rincon Tank, Jack Tank, and the Slater Red Tanks. The area is characterized by significant topographical relief, with Timber Mtn and Lone Mtn rising above the surrounding basins. Historic land management patterns are visible through the Public Land Survey System grids, while the presence of the small settlement at Canon Avendijo and named features like Bat Cave Canyon indicate a history of localized resource use and exploration. Notable draws such as South Fork Putnam Draw and Yoast Draw facilitate drainage through the Apache Gap pass.
