2013 Map of Mount Baldy

About this map

Coronado National Forest lands dominate this high-desert portion of the Peloncillo Mountains in southwestern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by rugged peaks such as Mt Baldy, Eagle Mtn, and Pyramid Mtn, with numerous drainage systems including Baldy Mountain Canyon and Skull Canyon carving through the terrain. A distinct pattern of isolated ranching settlements or homesteads is evident, with named sites such as Old Isaacs Place, Eaton Place, and the clustered locations of Upper Lovett Place, Lower Lovett Place, and Lovett. These sites, connected by primitive routes like Co Road c007, reflect the sparse and enduring cattle-ranching heritage of Hidalgo County. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by local features like Maverick Spring and the Juniper Basin Tank.
