2020 Map of Nelson Canyon West

About this map

Escondido Cem stands on a high point above the drainage of Escondido Cr, marking a quiet historical presence in this section of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep arroyos and canyons, including the significant Nelson Canyon and Diablo Canyon systems. These drainages reveal a topography shaped by seasonal water flow, with Stinking Cr and Baca Spring Cr cutting through the arid terrain. The map's detail provides a record of the early 21st-century land divisions across townships like t10s r18e, where the names of features like Deadman Canyon and Trail Canyon suggest a history of early movement and ranching activity through the gaps in Long Ridge.
