About this map

The Mimbres River cuts through the northwest corner of this Luna and Grant county borderlands survey, marking a vital water source in an otherwise arid landscape. Near this waterway sits the settlement of Faywood, positioned just north of the notable peaks of Round Mountain. The topography is defined by the significant rise of the Cookes Range in the southeast, where steep contours give way to drainage features like Montezuma Canyon and Butterfield Draw. This area preserves the path of the historic Butterfield Trl, a corridor of western migration and transport that follows the natural breaks in the terrain. The network of rural routes, including Co RD a012 and Keeler Rd Nw, connects isolated draws such as Cordwood Draw and Porter Draw, illustrating the modern management of these ancient transit routes through the high desert.
