2014 Map of Nelson Reservoir NE

About this map

The high desert terrain of Apache and Catron Counties straddles the Arizona-New Mexico border in this 2014 survey. The settlement of Escudilla Bonita anchors the southern portion of the map near the state line, where local roads such as Brooks, Coyote, and Jackrabbit provide access to the rural landscape. This area is defined by its drainage systems, including the winding Coyote Creek and the deep cuts of Cottonwood Canyon and Cow Springs Draw. Transportation is dominated by the corridor of Us-60, which runs east-west across the lower half of the quadrangle. A visible trace of Old US-60 reflects the historical evolution of the regional highway system, while County Road A001 serves as a primary north-south artery following the administrative boundary between the two states.
