2023 Map of Pelon Hill

About this map

Pelon Hill and Little Pelon Hill dominate this high-elevation landscape in Lincoln County, where the terrain is carved by complex drainage systems like Dark Canyon and South Well Canyon. The 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region defined more by its natural topography and essential infrastructure than by dense settlement. Prominent peaks such as Monte Alto and R D Hill provide clear navigational landmarks across the township lines of t2s r13e and t3s r13e. Human activity is primarily represented by utility and transport corridors, including Pipeline Rd and rural routes like Co Rd A033. This map is particularly useful for understanding modern land use and drainage patterns in the arid New Mexico interior, showing how roads and pipelines negotiate the steep relief of the Sacramento Mountains area.
