About this map

Cedar Grove Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this high-altitude landscape of central New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a complex network of arroyos and canyons, including the prominent Mesa Draw, Chavez Draw, and Big Draw. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident through the numerous catchment features such as Baumgartner Tank, Mesa Draw Tank, and Medders Tanks that dot the map.

Elevation changes are marked by features like Eisenhart Hill and the broad West Mesa, while the survey reveals a grid of county roads, such as County Rd-B070 and County Rd-B011, which facilitate access across the canyons. This 2010 survey provides a detailed view of the ranching and agricultural infrastructure, showing how local land use is tied to the natural drainage patterns of Goat Canyon and Lion Canyon.
