2023 Map of La Paloma Canyon

About this map

The Lincoln National Forest dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Guadalupe Mountains meets the prominent escarpment known as The Rim. This modern survey reveals a region defined by complex drainage systems and arid-land water management, centered on the Brokeoff Mountains. Numerous named water catchments such as Arch Lewis Tank, Lewis Tank, and La Paloma Tank are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating the vital importance of these points for ranching and wildlife in the high desert.
