USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation dominates the northern and eastern portions of this landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the rugged foothills of the Sacramento Mountains. Life in this arid region is defined by the scattered water sources vital to ranching and local history, including Maxwell Spring, Baca Spring, and the White Flat Tank located near the center of the sheet. The map reveals a network of primitive transportation, with various Jeep Trails navigating the slopes between Cat Mountain and Coyote Peak. To the south, Tularosa Creek provides a focal point for the terrain, featuring a Gaging Sta and nearby Apodaca Spring. Numerous Prospects and Prospect markings pepper the canyons such as Coyote Canyon and Dry Canyon, indicating the region's history of mineral exploration.
