About this map

Corona serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in central New Mexico, where the Southern Pacific railroad line shapes the local geography. The settlement's infrastructure is clearly marked, including a Water Tank, a Substa, and a local Cem located just east of the tracks. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Bonita Canyon and Gallo Canyon, which carve through the high-elevation mesas.

Economic activity and land use are reflected in the presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous water features critical for ranching, such as Simpson Tank and various scattered Wells. The map details an extensive network of a Jeep Trail, illustrating how the rugged environment was navigated in the early 1980s. These routes connect the open mesa tops with the winding floor of Dark Canyon, providing a comprehensive look at the rural land management and transport patterns of Lincoln County.
