2011 Map of Log Canyon

About this map

Happy Mountain Airport sits at a junction of backcountry routes in this high-elevation landscape within Catron County. The map reveals a network of ranching infrastructure and drainage features, such as J L Draw and Pino Draw, which feed into the eponymous Log Canyon. These draws and canyons dictate the movement across the territory, with roads like Saulsberry Rd and Greens Gap Rd following the natural contours of the land. Established family-named outposts like Bull Ranch and Thurmond Ranch represent the enduring pastoral character of this region. The presence of the Agua Fria Windmill and the specifically named Z Slash Canyon highlights the localized nomenclature of New Mexico's ranching heritage, where every drainage and water source is vital to the local economy.
