2020 Map of Indian Peak

About this map

Indian Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Hidalgo County, part of a landscape defined by the drainage patterns and rugged elevations of the Peloncillo Mountains. The map reveals a network of canyons including Dupree Canyon, Cabin Canyon, and XT Canyon, which channel seasonal water toward features like Big Cr and the S Fork Big Cr. Essential water sources in this arid environment are marked by Cottonwood Spring, Mud Springs, and the Birtrong Tank. Navigating this high-desert terrain is facilitated by geographic gaps such as Antelope Pass and Burro Pass. Human presence is evidenced primarily by remote infrastructure, with Big Creek Ranch Rd providing access across the range and several county roads connecting isolated points in the southwestern New Mexico backcountry.
