2020 Map of Lion Mountain NW

About this map

The high-desert terrain along the Catron and Socorro County boundary is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Cibola National Forest. This 2020 landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns and water management, notably the winding Rincon Draw and the isolated Number 3 Tank. Local ranching and access infrastructure are traced through a network of rural routes such as Olmstead Ranch Rd and Guin Loop, which navigate the elevation changes between the forested uplands and the Sand Hills to the southeast. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, including t1s r9w, t1s r8w, t2s r9w, and t2s r8w, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System continues to define the administrative geography of this New Mexico wilderness.
