1995 Map of East Gavilan Canyon

About this map

The Tierra Amarilla Grant dominates this high-altitude landscape of northern New Mexico, where traditional land use patterns meet federal management at the National Forest Boundary. The presence of Peterson Cow Camp, Crowther Cow Camp, and Johnson Cow Camp reflects the area's legacy of seasonal grazing and livestock movement across the high country. These camps, often located near water sources like Spring and Gavilan Tank, are connected by a network of unimproved 4WD roads that navigate the complex drainage systems of Rio Vallecitos and Rio Nutrias.
