2023 Map of Flying W Mountain

About this map

Flying W Mountain and Valiente Peak command the high ground of this corner of Luna County, where the southern extent of the Cedar Mountain Range transitions into a network of dry drainages. This high-desert landscape is defined by the necessity of water management, evidenced by numerous livestock tanks scattered across the townships, including Red Tank, Gap Tank, and Tank Number 4 North. The complex topography is carved by a series of named washes such as Sacaton Draw, Hermanas Draw, and Bisbee Draw, which carry seasonal runoff through the basins.
