2017 Map of Coyote Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the arid high country of the New Mexico borderlands, crossing between Hidalgo and Grant counties. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by dramatic relief and isolated water sources essential for ranching and transit. To the east, the prominent Coyote Peak and Coyote Hills rise above the basin, while the Brockman Hills anchor the northern reaches. The vast Playas Valley stretches across the west, intersected by drainage features like South Pyramid Draw and Baker Canyon. A network of utility and ranch roads, including Pipeline Rd, Mayfield Ranch Rd, and Hurt Rd, connects remote livestock tanks such as New Coyote Tank and Lower Camp Tank, illustrating the ongoing reliance on managed water in this high-desert terrain.
