2023 Map of Guadalupe Spring

About this map

Peloncillo Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain where the Arizona-New Mexico state line meets the international border region. This landscape is defined by its network of springs and canyons, crucial for survival in the arid Southwest. Named peaks like Outlaw Mtn and Bunk Robinson Peak rise above a complex system of drainage washes, including Hay Hollow Wash and Seventysix Gulch. The presence of the Cottonwood Creek Cem near Cottonwood Creek provides a tangible link to the early ranching families who managed this territory. Human movement through the area follows established paths such as Geronimo Trl and various backcountry routes within the Coronado National Forest. This modern survey details the vital water sources that have sustained inhabitants for generations, from the Guadalupe Spring to the remote Pickhandle Tank.
