2023 Map of Palomas Gap

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The southern outskirts of Truth or Consequences give way to the prominent ridges of the Caballo Mountains in this desert landscape of Sierra County. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of Turtle Mountain and Caballo Cone in the north, while the central pass at Palomas Gap provides a vital corridor between the eastern flats and the Rio Grande valley to the west. This 2023 edition documents a network of named canyons and draws, including Lead Mine Canyon and Hadley Canyon, which direct seasonal runoff toward the lowlands. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, represented by isolated points like Barney-Iorio Number 1 Spring, Mescal Spring, and stock-watering features such as Little Ohmey Tank and Red Tank.
