About this map

The Florida Mountains dominate the western portion of this landscape, rising to prominent points such as Baldy Peak and Gym Peak. This arid Basin and Range terrain is defined by deep drainage systems including Victorio Canyon, Windmill Canyon, and the rugged Box Canyon in the southwest corner. The high-altitude topography transitions into the alluvial basins of Victorio Draw and Lobo Draw to the east, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Chihuahuan Desert.

Surface water is a vital and scarce resource here, marked by the presence of Byer Spring near the mountain slopes and Red Lake on the eastern flats. Human presence is indicated primarily by the Public Land Survey System grid and back-country routes like Gap Rd SE and Geronimo Rd. The map provides a detailed record of these named landmarks and canyons, essential for tracing land use and surveying history in this part of Luna County.
