2010 Map of North Peak

About this map

Waterloo and the northern reaches of the Tres Hermanas Mountains anchor this landscape in Luna County, where the desert flats meet a series of prominent summits. The terrain is defined by a succession of peaks, including North Peak, Middle Peak, and South Peak, surrounded by a network of ephemeral drainage systems such as Burns Draw and Crump Draw. Resource extraction and ranching define the land use here, evidenced by the Lindy Ann Mine and Lindy Ann Claims located near the Wildcat hills. The presence of several remote outposts, including Inmon Ranch and the Lonesome Cabin, illustrates the survival of traditional cattle-rearing and prospecting livelihoods. Transport and logistics are represented by the Hacienda Sur Luna Airport in the south, while numerous windmills and tanks like East Windmill and Crump Tank highlight the critical infrastructure required for water management in this arid environment.
