About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwest corner of New Mexico, where the peaks of Eagle Mtn, Pyramid Mtn, and Mt Baldy define the horizon. This 2020 survey of the Coronado National Forest shows a rugged network of drainage systems and canyons, including the curiously named Post Office Canyon and Skull Canyon.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, evidenced by isolated features like Maverick Spring, The Seep, and livestock-related sites such as Slover Tank and Juniper Basin Tank. While the area is largely uninhabited, the presence of Lovett and Mace near the southern boundary, along with rural routes like Post Office Canyon Rd, highlights the thin thread of human activity and ranching history that persists among the draws and basins of Hidalgo County.
