2017 Map of C-N Lake

About this map

C-N Lake lies within the high-altitude terrain of western New Mexico, situated at the boundary of several United States Public Land Survey System townships including t4s r9w and t4s r10w. This remote section of Catron County is characterized by a landscape of volcanic peaks and ridges, including the slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain and Anderson Peak as noted in the adjoining quadrangle indices. The survey reveals a sparse human footprint in this corner of the state, where the primary features are the natural hydrology of the lake and the precise grid of the t5s r9w and t5s r10w boundaries. The mapping illustrates the complex topographic contours of the Luera Mountains, providing an essential record of the area's geography and drainage patterns before modern digital elevation models.
