2013 Map of Organ

About this map

The settlement of Organ sits at the western foot of the San Augustin Mountains and Organ Mountains, serving as a gateway to the high desert terrain. This 2013 survey documents the intersection of modern transit and rugged geography, notably where Us-70 crests the San Augustin Pass. The landscape is defined by its water sources and sharp relief, with several named springs such as San Augustin Spring and Merrimac Spring scattered across the slopes. To the east, the terrain opens into the Tularosa Valley, while the southeastern corner reaches the boundaries of the White Sands area. Local history is anchored by the Organ Cem and landmarks like Baylor Peak and Mineral Hill, which reflect the region's long-standing connection to mining and mountain navigation.
