About this map

Car Top Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high plains landscape of Union County, New Mexico. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainage systems, most notably Pinabetes Creek and Moscow Creek, which flow through the northern reaches of the quadrangle. These waterways have carved significant depressions across the mesas, creating complex topographies such as Charley Adams Canyon and Ute Canyon. In the southern half of the sheet, the landform transitions into a network of steep-walled gaps including San Lorenzo Canyon and Los Gatos Canyon. This area reflects a traditional ranching environment where movement is dictated by the natural breaks in the land. A grid of local thoroughfares like Blue Front Rd and Robinett Rd provides access across the open range, following the section lines and natural contours between the creek beds and canyons.
