2010 Map of Engle

About this map

The settlement of Engle serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Sierra County, located at the junction of County Road A-13 and County Road A-26. This arid region is defined by the sharp relief of the Fra Cristobal Range to the west, where drainage features like McRae Canyon and Cañon de Muerto carve through the terrain. Evidence of ranching and remote settlement is scattered across the plain, including the Seven T X Camp and the small Engle Cemetery. Vital water sources in this dry environment are noted by several ephemeral features such as Cedar Lake and Engle Lake, supplemented by man-made infrastructure like Larson Windmill and Reservoir Windmill. The broad expanse of the Jornada Draw dominates the southeast, illustrating the drainage patterns of this high-altitude basin.
