2020 Map of Bug Scuffle Canyon

About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates this section of Otero County, where high ridges and deep drainages define the southeastern reach of the Sacramento Mountains. The landscape is a network of named canyons and ridges, including the prominent Bug Scuffle Canyon and Moore Ridge. Water management for livestock or wildlife is evident through scattered infrastructure like Turkey Roost Tank and Corner Dry Pasture Tank, alongside natural features such as Dripping Spring and Little Cherry Spring. The southern boundary of the map indicates the northern reaches of the Fort Bliss military reservation, highlighting the transition from protected forest lands to military training grounds. Tracing the path of the Sacramento River and its surrounding canyons like Danley Canyon provides a clear view of the complex topographical relief that characterizes this high-altitude region.
