About this map

The Cedar Mountain Range dominates the southern landscape of this high-desert region on the border of Grant and Luna counties. This terrain is defined by its arid drainage patterns and water management features essential for ranching and survival in the Chihuahuan Desert. Significant relief is provided by prominent landmarks such as Sheep Mtn, Deer Mtn, and Turkey Knob, while the northern section is characterized by the broad Seventysix Draw. The presence of several artificial water catchments, including Tod Hunter Reservoir, Sleeper Tank, and Murray Tank, indicates a landscape managed for livestock or wildlife support. Access through this sparsely populated territory is maintained via Co Road C019, which crosses the southern plains beneath the hills. The map captures the intersection of several townships and ranges, providing a precise spatial record of this remote southwestern New Mexico environment.
