2011 Map of Luna

About this map

Luna serves as the primary settlement hub in this high-altitude landscape where the San Francisco River meets the canyon-carved terrain of Catron County. The map documents a land shaped by both hydrology and range life, featuring numerous water tanks like Dillman Tank and Kiehne Tank that support the ranching operations evidenced by Laney Corral and the Old Campbell Place. National Forest infrastructure is prominent, centered around the Luna District Ranger Office and the Head of the Ditch Campground, while forestry roads such as Forest Rd 210 and Forestry Road 35 provide access to the timbered reaches near Potato Patch. The presence of family-named landmarks like the Ruyle Place and distinctive landforms such as Hellroaring Mesa reflect the deep-rooted settlement history of this mountain valley community.
