2011 Map of Aragon

About this map

Aragon sits at the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the Tularosa River winds through the valley floor. The settlement serves as a focal point for a region defined by complex drainage patterns and livestock infrastructure, evidenced by numerous water features like New Red Steer Tank and Spring Tank. The terrain rises sharply to the heights of Apache Mountain and Tularosa Mountain, separated by deep cuts such as Negro Canyon and Bull Camp Canyon. This 2011 survey documents a network of Forest Service roads, including Forest Road 17, that connect remote springs like Negrito Springs and Willow Bush Spring. The inclusion of the Sand Flat Airstrip highlights the logistical requirements of managing this expansive terrain, while the naming of small features like Whiskey Creek and Mata Spring provides essential landmarks for local navigation and land management.
