2023 Map of Lion Mountain NW

About this map

The high desert boundary of the Catron Co Socorro Co line defines this area of New Mexico, where the eastern edge of the Cibola National Forest meets a series of ranching roads and water tanks. The landscape is marked by the presence of Number 3 Tank and the subtle rise of the Sand Hills in the southeast corner. A network of rural corridors, including Olmstead Ranch Rd and Guin Loop, provides the primary access across the township sections. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern grid of public and private lands, showing how remote infrastructure persists in the arid environment of central New Mexico.
