2020 Map of Bull Gap

About this map

Bull Gap Canyon and the high desert terrain of western Lincoln County define this landscape, where seasonal water sources dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure. Scattered springs such as Lower Willow Spring, Root Spring, and Dalton Spring are vital points in this arid region, often accompanied by artificial catchments like the Bull Gap Tank and A A A Tank. The terrain is marked by prominent natural features including Rim Rock Canyon and the drainage of Willow Draw. Transport through this section of the Tularosa Basin relies on rugged routes like the I Bar X Ranch Rd and Wsmr S Rt 336, reflecting a modern landscape still governed by traditional land use and large-scale ranching operations.
