2013 Map of Peach Canyon

About this map

Peach Canyon and its associated Peach Canyon Spring define the rugged break in the High Plains of eastern New Mexico, where the landscape drops away from the plateau toward the drainage systems of Sand Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region at the intersection of Roosevelt, De Baca, and Quay Counties. The map reveals how water sources like Bull Tank Spring dictate the local geography, providing vital anchors in an arid environment. A grid of section lines and named rural routes, such as Candy Mesa Rd and N Roosevelt Road 20, connect isolated points across the terrain. The presence of Sand Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon further emphasizes the deep erosion patterns characteristic of this Llano Estacado margin.
