About this map

Goat Mtn and Little Haystack Mtn anchor this high-desert landscape in McKinley County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and deep erosional cuts. The topography transitions from the high elevations of Lassa Point and Mesa Redonda down into the seasonal drainage of Arroyo del Puerto.

Remote land management and historical surveying are evident through the grid of section lines across several townships, including t14n r10w. Access to this arid interior is provided by a few established tracks such as Blackwood Rd and Red Mountain Rd, which navigate around prominent landmarks like Two Fault Butte and Pistol Butte. The map provides a clear look at the geological formations and watercourses, such as Rincon Canyon and Martin Draw, that have dictated the region's movement and land use for generations.
