2018 Map of Nelson Reservoir NE

About this map

The high plateau terrain along the Arizona and New Mexico state line defines this 2018 survey of the border region between Apache County, Arizona and Catron County, New Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the seasonal drainage patterns of Coyote Cr and the northern reaches of Cow Springs Draw, revealing a remote ranching and transit corridor. Traces of historical road networks are visible through the alignment of Old US Hwy 60, which runs roughly parallel to the modern highway route. The map documents localized landmarks and access points like Arrowhead and Jackrabbit, alongside named geographic features such as Cottonwood Canyon. This map serves as a primary record of the modern rural infrastructure and land divisions near the western edge of the Continental Divide.
