2017 Map of Eagle Tail Mountain

About this map

The high plains of Colfax County meet the towering heights of Eagle Tail Mountain and Eagle Tail Mesa in this contemporary record of the New Mexico landscape. The western portion of the map is defined by the corridor of the Canadian River, which flows past the small settlements of Hebron and Schomberg. Agricultural and transit infrastructure is visible through the engineering of the Eagle Tail Canal and Red River Ditch, alongside the Raton Municipal Airport/Crews Field in the northwest corner. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward Tinaja Mesa and drops into Mine Canyon. The network of local roads like Tinaja Rd and Co RD A-9 provides access through this mix of mesas and arroyos, such as Chicorica Cr and Blosser Arroyo, illustrating the modern management of a traditional ranching and aviation corridor.
