2017 Map of Pasture Canyon

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, defined by a complex drainage system that feeds into the Rio Salado. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous named corridors, including Pasture Canyon and Ox Spring Canyon, which dictate the natural movement across this section of the New Mexico interior. Alamoita Creek winds through the central portion of the map, flanked by prominent features such as Bell Mtn and the cattle-grazing grounds of Cow Flat. Forest infrastructure is visible through designated routes like Forest Rd 6A, providing access to isolated water sources like Alkali Tank. The network of canyons—from Remuda Canyon to Rock House Canyon—reflects a landscape where water management and topography have historically shaped land use and forest service management.
