2017 Map of Loco Canyon

About this map

Rio Felix winds through the southern reaches of this Chaves County landscape, providing a vital water source for the surrounding ranchlands. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Loco Canyon, Salt House Canyon, and Crooked Canyon, which create a complex topographical pattern of ridges and draws. In the southeast, the Flying H Ranch Airport serves as a modern waypoint in this high-desert environment, while traditional land use is reflected in local routes like Picacho Rd and Felix Canyon Rd. Water management features such as Janey Tank are critical markers for local history and livestock operations. Smaller geographic features like Pine Tree Canyon and Browning Canyon further divide the terrain, illustrating the intricate natural architecture that has shaped ranching and transportation in this part of New Mexico.
