2023 Map of Dog Mountains

About this map

Dog Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico, where the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico runs through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses such as Willow Creek and the high elevations of Haystack Mountain. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage patterns of Horse Canyon and the surrounding basin. This area represents a sparsely populated borderland characterized by vast public land allotments within t34s r15w and t34s r14w. Geographers and researchers can observe the literal edge of the nation as it transitions from the high peaks down toward Deer Flat along the international line.
