2023 Map of Dwyer

About this map

Dwyer sits along the Mimbres River in a landscape where steep canyons and arid draws converge. This Grant County terrain is defined by its drainage systems, from the broad Gavilan Arroyo to the narrow confines of Donahue Canyon and Juniper Canyon. To the northeast, the land rises into the Mimbres Mountains and the protected boundaries of the Gila National Forest. The map shows a network of named tracks that suggest the area's history of mineral exploration and ranching, including Royal John Mine Rd and Hot Springs Canyon Rd. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, represented by Hot Springs in the north and Goat Spring further east, which historically served as vital points for local inhabitants and livestock in the high desert.
