2013 Map of El Paso Canyon

About this map

Timberon stands as the primary settlement in this corner of the Lincoln National Forest, where a network of residential roads like Mountainaire Dr and Longfellow Rd winds through high-elevation terrain. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and cattle tanks, including Rim Tank and Womack Tank, which supported local ranching operations in a dry environment. The Sacramento River carves through the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, while prominent high points like Culp Peak overlook a series of dramatic geographic features. Significant canyons such as Arkansas Canyon, El Paso Canyon, and Wildcat Canyon dominate the topography, illustrating the complex erosion patterns and water management history of Otero County. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the interface between forest wilderness and the secluded mountain community established here.
