2023 Map of Cow Springs

About this map

Cow Springs serves as a focal point for this arid high-altitude landscape in western New Mexico, where seasonal water sources dictate the layout of the land. The topography is defined by significant drainages including Cow Springs Draw, Mayes Wash, and Red Hill Draw, which cut through the high-elevation terrain typical of the Colorado Plateau transition. In the northeastern portion of the sheet, the residential development at Cimerron is marked by a network of local roads such as Chamisa Trl and Cimmeron Dr, indicating modern settlement patterns in an area traditionally used for ranching. Further south, Chihuahua Lake and the natural landmark of Cowboy Pass stand out as rare features in a region characterized by vast sections of open ranch land and rugged canyons.
