About this map

Lincoln National Forest and the Mescalero reservation dominate this landscape within the Sacramento Mountains. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high-elevation canyons, including Nogal Canyon, Cirhuelas Canyon, and Laborcita Canyon. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, marked by numerous named points such as Domingo Spring, Dripping Spring, and Seven Spring. The presence of the Butterfield Trl suggests deep historical layers of transit across these southern mountains.

Legacy infrastructure and livestock management are evident in features like Burch Tank and CCC Tank, which point to mid-century land improvements. Lower-elevation routes like Cottonwood Canyon Rd provide access through the complex topography of the Domingo Peak area. Modern administrative boundaries, including the tribal lands of the Mescalero, intersect with older surveyed township and range lines, creating a detailed grid over the wilderness of Otero County.
