2017 Map of Leo

About this map

The high-country terrain of the Pedro Mountains dominates this Carbon County landscape, where elevation peaks at distinctive landmarks like Pyramid Peak and Heaths Peak. The settlement of Leo sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle near Bunker Draw, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country. Water management is evident through features like the Irene-Number 2 Reservoir, which captures runoff from the complex network of drainages including Sneftens Draw and Indian Springs Cr. Geologic formations such as The Chimneys and Dome Rock punctuate the ridges, while established routes like Kortes Rd and Werner Ranch Rd provide access through the draws. The map illustrates a ranching landscape where natural springs like Iron Springs and named waterholes were critical for livestock in a territory defined by seasonal creek beds and deep canyons.
