2020 Map of Dwyer SE

About this map

Cookes Range anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, a prominent geological feature in a region defined by high-desert drainage patterns and historic transit corridors. The Butterfield Trl cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, tracing a path through the arid terrain near Butterfield Draw and Porter Draw. This route highlights the historical importance of the area as a passage for westward travelers. In the northern reaches, the Mimbres River provides a vital water source, while solitary peaks like Round Mtn serve as landmarks for navigation. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Grant County and Luna County, showing how modern county lines and land-use sections overlay the natural canyons, including Montezuma Canyon and Provinger Canyon.
