2004 Map of Graveyard Canyon

About this map

The Sacramento Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in southern New Mexico, where the Sacramento River carves its way through the canyon floor. The community of Timberon serves as a primary point of interest, featuring the Timberon Lodge and a nearby airstrip. This era of the region’s development is characterized by a mix of forestry, ranching, and military use, with a significant portion of the land designated as the Fort Bliss Military Reservation (McGregor Range) and the Lincoln National Forest. Longstanding agricultural history is evident in the presence of Fairchild Ranch, Circle Cross Ranch, and Moss Ranch. Local infrastructure includes a network of trails such as the Rim Trail and Spiller Canyon Trail, alongside water management features like the aqueduct and various tanks. A small Cem and the Herman Monument offer specific points for genealogical and local history research.
