2017 Map of Kellog Well

About this map

The Cibola National Forest boundary defines the southern half of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of central New Mexico is carved by deep drainage networks. The water-scarce environment is marked by essential livestock and wildlife infrastructure, including Kellog Well and several catchment basins like Kellog Tank and Point of Rocks Tank. The map shows a transition from the lower plains into a series of significant geographic depressions, notably Kellog Canyon and Point of Rocks Canyon. Movement through this high-desert territory is facilitated by a network of unimproved roads and designated routes such as Forest 476 Rd, which winds through the southern foothills near Morine Canyon and Sargent Canyon. This 2017 survey documents the modern placement of state and federal land management boundaries at the intersection of Catron and Socorro counties.
