2020 Map of Nelson Canyon East

About this map

Buckwater Spring and the drainage of Bluewater Creek define the northern hydrology of this Lincoln County landscape. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex network of canyons and draws that carve through the high terrain, including the prominent Blackwater Canyon and Nelson Canyon in the north, and Coyote Canyon and Tecolote Canyon further south. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, showing the divisions between T9S and T11S. While the area is largely characterized by its natural features and drainage patterns like Big Draw, a single modern artery, Co RD e034, provides access through the eastern canyons near Pruit Canyon.
