2017 Map of Luera Mountains West

About this map

The Luera Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, culminating at the prominent Luera Peak. This 2017 survey reveals a remote terrain defined by deep drainages and cattle ranching infrastructure, such as the Above Hou Pasture Tank. The map tracks several major geographical formations, including the winding path of Alamo Canyon and the rugged Cañon Obscura. Transportation is limited to primitive routes like Forest Rd 30, which provides access to the southern reaches of the mountains. The absence of modern towns or dense road networks emphasizes the area's continued use for grazing and wilderness management, with Obaro Canyon cutting a distinct path through the western townships.
