2013 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

The settlement of Buckhorn serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey of the New Mexico landscape, situated where Us-180 intersects a network of local routes like Stevens Rd and Duck Creek Rd. The terrain is defined by an intricate system of drainages, including the prominent Duck Cr and Sacaton Cr, which carve through the high desert floor toward the Gila National Forest in the northeast. This map records the essential water management features of the era, such as George Clark Tank and Horse Lake Tank, which are critical for land use in this arid region. The topography transitions from the flat expanse of Mud Spring Mesa to the sharply defined corridors of Little Pat Canyon and the evocatively named Hells Hole, illustrating the complex geological erosion patterns characteristic of Grant County.
