About this map

Horse Mountain and the Animas Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where the slopes of the mountains give way to the expansive Playas Valley to the east. Several seasonal watercourses, including Cowboy Cr, Bluff Cr, and Fullous Cr, drain these western ranges, illustrating the critical drainage patterns of this arid environment.

Remote transportation routes like Timberlake Camp Rd and Co Rd C012 provide the only significant access through this sparsely populated territory. The map clearly delineates the rugged features of the Cowboy Rim and the deep incision of South 7K Canyon, offering a detailed view of the township and range system as it applied to the open ranching lands and protected mountain wilderness of the early 21st century.
