2020 Map of Carrizozo East

About this map

The town of Carrizozo sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the high desert floor meets the rising slopes of Carrizo Mtn. This survey details a transition from the structured street grid of the settlement to the open drainage systems of the Tularosa Basin, including Lemon Draw and Nogal Draw. To the northeast, the topography becomes increasingly complex as it enters the Lincoln National Forest, reaching the heights of Baxter Mtn and the prominent Bald Hills. Local water sources like Carrizozo Spring, Fetters Spring, and the Bonito Lake System Annex illustrate the critical nature of water management in this arid Lincoln County environment. A network of rural routes such as Possum Trl and Whistler Trl connect scattered sites like Robsart, showing the modern connectivity between the valley floor and the canyons of the Sacramento Mountains.
