2020 Map of Greendailey Canyon

About this map

The high plains along the border of Oklahoma and New Mexico are defined by a network of drainage systems, including Greendailey Canyon and Huff Canyon. This 2020 landscape in Cimarron County remains sparsely settled, with the small location of Atencio and scattered ranches linked by rural routes like El Valle Escondido Rd and Sayre Rd. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges such as Piñon Ridge and deep incisions from seasonal watercourses like Carrizozo Creek and Tesesquite Creek. These waterways and springs, including Escondido Springs and Chet Springs, have historically dictated land use and travel patterns in this arid region where the two states meet. The map also shows numerous side canyons such as Black Canyon, West Canyon, and East Canyon branching off the primary drainage basins.
