About this map

Loco Mountain and the expansive North Star Mesa dominate this high-elevation landscape in Grant County. The area is defined by a complex network of canyons, including Big Timber Canyon, Slick Rock Canyon, and Railroad Canyon, which drain into water systems like Sapillo Creek and Apache Creek. Human activity is centered around ranching and forest management, evidenced by V Cross Ranch and Lower Skates Corral.

Stock tanks are a critical feature of this environment, with numerous named locations such as Maverick Tank, Bucket Tank, and Turkey Cienega Tank distributed across the terrain to support livestock and wildlife. Transportation is limited to rugged routes like N Star Rd and various forest service roads, while the Rocky Canyon Campground indicates the area's use for recreation within the National Forest system.
