2023 Map of Chimney Lake

About this map

Lincoln National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Otero and Chaves counties. The terrain is defined by a series of significant canyons including Dead Horse Canyon, Chimney Canyon, and Twomile Canyon, which cut through the high ridges. Prominent elevations such as One Tree Peak and Chimney Peak serve as landmarks for the area. Water management for livestock or wildlife is evident through the naming of numerous man-made tanks, including Pine Tank, Bar-X Tank, and Long Canyon Tank. Transport through the area relies on a network of backcountry roads like Champion Canyon Rd and Mc Casland Rd, which navigate the complex system of draws and ridges such as Barclay Draw and Fourmile Canyon. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of arid ranching and forestry environments in the early twenty-first century.
