About this map

Timberon dominates the southern portion of this high-elevation New Mexico survey, showing an intricate residential street network carved into the canyon topography. The community is supported by local infrastructure like the Timberon Airport and Timberon Lodge, while the surrounding land is defined by a series of significant canyons including Graveyard Canyon and Sacramento Canyon. This 2011 record captures the area's transition from a ranching-focused landscape into a more developed mountain retreat.

North of the main settlement, the land remains largely pastoral, with established properties such as Crisp Ranch, Fairchild Ranch, and Circle Cross Ranch scattered among the drainages of Agua Chiquita Creek and the Sacramento River. The map meticulously labels several natural water sources critical to this arid climate, including Sulfur Spring, Bear Wallow Spring, and Sand Springs, which serve as vital landmarks alongside the high point of Jefferies Peak.
