2010 Map of Peach Canyon

About this map

Peach Canyon Spring and Bull Tank Spring provide critical water points in this arid stretch of eastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the significant drainage of Peach Canyon, which runs alongside Sand Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon as they carve through the High Plains. This 2010 USGS survey illustrates the rigid section-line road grid typical of the region's ranching and agricultural layout, featuring routes like Quay Road 25 and N Roosevelt Road 22. The map details how modern infrastructure, such as County Rd 3-7 and C 053, follows the natural contours of the land while maintaining the geometric precision of local land divisions. The presence of Sand Creek suggests intermittent water flow in an area where topographical changes are subtle but vital for livestock and settlement.
