About this map

The Sacramento Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Lincoln National Forest meets the Mescalero reservation. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and washes, including the deep cuts of Cuervo Canyon, Cirhuelas Canyon, and Laborcita Canyon. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by a infrastructure of water management essential for high-country life, with numerous named points such as Cedar Tanks, Maruche Lake, and the CCC Tank.

Resource management and accessibility are traced through a series of numbered forest and reservation routes, such as Nogal Canyon Rd and Indian Svc Rte 29. For those studying local geography or family history in Otero County, the map identifies specific landmarks like Domingo Peak and numerous named springs, including Ransom Spring, Baptista Spring, and Dripping Spring, which have long served as vital landmarks in this arid mountain environment.
