2017 Map of Luera Mountains East

About this map

The Luera Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where deep drainage systems like Patrocino Canyon and Bathtub Canyon carve through the terrain. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region where water sources dictate the geography of human interest. Vital water points such as Luera Spring and Indian Springs are clearly marked, serving as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The map also delineates the eastern approach to the range through Indian Spring Canyon, showing the complex topographic contours of the high desert. Public Land Survey System boundaries for T5S and T6S provide a structural grid over the natural features, useful for land use and historical property research in this part of New Mexico.
