1985 Map of Dwyer SE

About this map

The high desert landscape of the New Mexico borderlands is defined by the massive Cookes Range rising in the southeast and the prominent Round Mountain centered in the west. This 1985 survey, compiled from 1970s aerial photography, reveals an arid topography sculpted by intermittent drainage systems. The Mimbres River clips the far northwest corner, while the rest of the terrain is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses including Cordwood Draw, Porter Draw, and Provinger Draw. The map documents the boundary between Grant and Luna counties as it cuts through the high country. Deep canyons such as Montezuma Canyon and Cordwood Canyon provide a detailed look at the erosion patterns and landform characteristics of the region before more modern developments. The presence of Butterfield Draw in the south provides a historical nod to the routes through these desert passes.
