About this map

Pelon Hill and its neighbor Little Pelon Hill dominate this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage features, including the notable Dark Canyon to the north and South Well Canyon near the center of the quadrangle. These deep cuts through the land illustrate the complex watershed of the region, where seasonal runoff has carved paths such as Bonita Canyon.

Modern infrastructure is represented by a few key corridors like Pipeline Rd, which cuts diagonally across the eastern hills. The area remains largely undeveloped, with elevations marked by isolated peaks such as Monte Alto and R D Hill. This 2020 edition provides a clear view of the public land survey system divisions across Townships 2S and 3S, documenting the rugged topography that has historically limited dense settlement in this portion of the New Mexico interior.
