About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the peaks of the northern Sierra Blanca range. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Kountz Canyon and Nogal Canyon, which define the drainage patterns for seasonal waterways like Tortolita Cr. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Church Mtn and Gaylord Peak.

Human presence is sparse and largely concentrated along the northern corridor where Us-380 E traverses the foothills. Ranching infrastructure is evident through named features like Diamond Peak Ranch and Duggers, alongside vital water sources such as Harkey Windmill and May Spring. This map is particularly useful for tracing land use at the forest boundary, where private holdings like the Jose Vega Loop meet the protected federal lands of the southern New Mexico mountains.
