2010 Map of Flying W Mountain

About this map

Flying W Mountain and the southern extent of the Cedar Mountain Range dominate this high-desert landscape in Luna County. The map documents a topography defined by drainage networks, where numerous ephemeral watercourses like Sacaton Draw, Gap Draw, and Herman Draw carve through the basin. Ranching infrastructure is central to the area's layout, anchored by the Flying W Ranch and supported by a series of critical water catchments including Palomas Red Hill Dam, Gap Tank, and Bobs Tank. Notable summits such as Valiente Peak and Round Top provide distinct landmarks across the rangeland. The limited road network, consisting primarily of CC Road C002, underscores the remote character of this ranching country in the early twenty-first century.
