2023 Map of Magdalena Peak

About this map

Magdalena Peak stands as a prominent landmark within the Sierra de las Uvas range in this southern New Mexico landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems and canyons, including Mason Draw, Candler Draw, and Valles Canyon. This 2023 survey illustrates a high-desert environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks scattered across the townships, such as Lone Tree Tank, Tajanio Pinto Tank, and Manuel Tank. The map reveals a network of primitive roads, including Co RD d001 and Co RD d008, which navigate the complex topography around The Saddle Mountain and Mesa Azur. These features indicate a region primarily utilized for ranching and resource management, with land divisions marked by the Public Land Survey System across the arid canyonlands.
