2017 Map of Mount Baldy

About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southwestern New Mexico, where the peaks of Mount Baldy and Eagle Mtn rise above a complex network of dry washes and canyons. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid terrain, evidenced by features such as Maverick Spring, The Seep, and livestock-supporting structures like Miller Tank and Juniper Basin Tank. The northern reaches of the Coronado National Forest extend into the southern portion of this area, marking a transition into protected lands. Movement through the region is defined by remote routes like Post Office Canyon Rd and Co Rd C007. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent character of this borderlands ranching and wilderness area, where named features such as Lovett and Skull Canyon preserve the local nomenclature of the Hidalgo County backcountry.
