2020 Map of Cow Mountain

About this map

Cow Mtn dominates the northeastern corner of this high plains landscape in Union County, where the terrain is defined by a sparse network of county roads and intermittent waterways. The drainage patterns of Gallegos Cr and Carrizo Cr cut across the landscape, illustrating the hydrological character of this portion of New Mexico. Local transport and land access are delineated by a grid of rural routes including Gallegos Rd, Biffle Rd, and Jones Rd. This survey highlights the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the intersection of Townships 26, 27, and 28 North across Ranges 29 and 30 East. The map captures a largely open, ranching-oriented environment where topographical contours reveal the subtle rises and depressions characteristic of the region beyond the prominent silhouette of the mountain.
