2020 Map of C-N Lake

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of northwestern Catron County dominates this landscape, defined by a series of prominent ridges and basins. C-N Lake is the primary landmark here, sitting in a natural depression surrounded by varying elevations that reveal the complex drainage patterns of this arid region. The map reflects the systematic organization of the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of t3s r10w, t3s r9w, t4s r10w, and t4s r9w. This layout illustrates the early 20th-century grid system used to divide and manage large tracts of the New Mexico backcountry, providing a clear view of how these remote townships were structured topographically before modern development.
