About this map

Juan Largo Canyon and its smaller counterpart, Little Juan Largo Canyon, form the primary drainage system in this high-desert portion of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, including Gyp Hill in the northeast and a series of rugged draws and canyons like Wildcat Canyon and South Canyon. These natural corridors dictate the layout of the minimal road network, which consists of unpaved routes such as Co Rd 8020 and Co Rd 8026.

Human activity is largely centered on infrastructure and utility maintenance, evidenced by the prominent Pipe Line Rd crossing the southern half of the map. The area's character is one of vast open range, where seasonal watercourses like Gallo Arroyo and Cowboy Draw channel runoff from the surrounding uplands. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid as it interfaces with the natural topography of the high canyon country.
