2020 Map of Hendricks Peak

About this map

Hendricks Peak rises above a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-desert drainage systems in this modern topographic survey of Grant County. The area is dominated by the Gila National Forest, where a network of livestock tanks and springs, such as Dutchman Tank and Girty Spring, supported the ranching history of the region. The map tracks the E Fork Mimbres River as it cuts through the western reaches, while complex terrain like Skillet Mesa and Kelly Mesa breaks the horizon. Notable routes like the Powder Horn Ridge Rd and Rabb Park trail suggest a pattern of land use focused on timber and cattle. This 2020 edition provides a clear view of the numerous canyons, including Powderhorn Canyon and Stitzel Canyon, that have guided travel and water management in the New Mexico backcountry for generations.
