2013 Map of Fullerton

About this map

The Plains of San Agustin dominate the northern landscape of this Catron County region, transitioning abruptly into the dissected drainage of Fullerton Canyon to the south. This 2013 survey illustrates the stark geomorphology of the high basin floor and the beginning of the mountainous rise typical of west-central New Mexico. The map is primarily structured by the Public Land Survey System, showing the divisions of t5s r13w, t6s r13w, and their adjacent ranges. These grid lines highlight the vast, open character of the terrain, where early ranching and land use patterns were dictated by the level plains and the narrow, winding corridors of the canyon floor. The lack of named settlements emphasizes the quiet, rural nature of this high-altitude landscape during the early 21st century.
