About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico, providing a look at ranching life and mountain passage in the 21st century. Named homesteads and operations like Mouser Place, Maloney Ranch, and Coe Ranch are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the long-standing livestock history of this arid region. These sites are linked by a network of local thoroughfares such as County Rd-C027 and c035.

Physical geography defines the area, with prominent elevations like Indian Peak, Grey Mountain, and Antelope Pass serving as landmarks for travelers moving through the mountain gaps. Water management is critical in this environment, as evidenced by the Birtrong Tank and the seasonal drainages of Trail Creek and South Fork Big Creek. The map also details numerous canyons, including Dupree Canyon and Owl Canyon, which carve through the high country.
