About this map

Buckhorn Mine and the adjacent settlement of Buckhorn sit within the high-elevation terrain of the Cortez Mountains, reflecting the enduring legacy of resource extraction in Eureka County. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by industrial access and natural water sources, where Buckhorn Rd and Buckhorn Ranch Rd provide the primary transit through the rugged mountain passes.

The presence of numerous named springs, such as Goyeneche Spring Number Two, Secquira Spring, and Quartz Spring, highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. To the south, the terrain descends into the Horse Creek Valley, while the northern reaches are dominated by the dramatic relief of Cottonwood Canyon and Brock Canyon, illustrating the varied topography that surrounds the mining operations at Agate Pass.
