2013 Map of Fairview Mountain

About this map

Fairview Mtn dominates the eastern landscape of this high desert region in New Mexico, situated along the county line shared by Socorro and Sierra counties. The terrain is characterized by the expansive arid flats of the Jornada del Muerto, a basin historically known for its challenging passage. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily defined by its drainage patterns and water management, with features like Jonce Canyon and Thurgood Canyon carving through the elevation. Isolated water sources such as Martin Tank, Ladder Tank, and the McDonald Brother Tank reflect the ranching infrastructure necessary for survival in the Poison Hills area. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t10s r4e and t11s r4e, showing how this vast territory was partitioned for management.
