2013 Map of Dwyer

About this map

Mimbres River drainage patterns define this corner of Grant County, where the valley floor transitions into the high elevations of the Gila National Forest. The settlement of Dwyer serves as the primary landmark in the southwest, complete with a designated Po, while the surrounding terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage features like Gavilan Arroyo and Cordwood Draw. To the north, the presence of the Mimbres Hot Springs and Cold Springs Canyon indicates a landscape shaped by geothermal activity and seasonal water flow. High-country landmarks such as the Mimbres Mountains and Oak Canyon overlook several named tanks and springs, including Parra Tank and Goat Spring, which were vital for sustaining local ranching and transit along the route of NM-61.
