About this map

The Oscura Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lincoln Co, where the terrain's water sources provide critical landmarks across the arid expanse. Hidden among the ridges and drainages are several named water features, including Palomas Moonshine Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Keller Spring. These isolated springs and the seasonal Salt Cr have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of New Mexico. The presence of the Wsmr P Rt 12 roadway reflects the modern administrative management of the area, which sits along the border with Socorro Co. The map also captures the Kidd landmark, offering a precise look at the remote topography and survey lines that define this portion of the Chihuahuan Desert.
