About this map

Cookes Peak dominates the western skyline of this New Mexico desert landscape, serving as a primary landmark within the larger Cookes Range. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and canyons, including the namesake Ok Canyon and Provinger Canyon. Sparse but critical water sources are scattered throughout the region, marked by labels such as Mule Springs, Burro Spring, and Walnut Spring.

Evidence of historical activity in this remote high-desert environment is anchored by the Cooks Peak Cem located near the foot of the mountains. The map details the intersection of county boundaries where Sierra, Grant, and Luna counties meet, a region largely navigated by secondary routes like Co Road a024. The deep cuts of Montezuma Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon illustrate the erosive forces shaping this arid territory in the early twenty-first century.
