About this map

Lincoln National Forest land defines this corner of the Guadalupe Mountains in southern New Mexico, where the abrupt geography of the Guadalupe Rim and The Rim dominates the landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in a high-desert environment, evidenced by a dense network of catchments and storage points such as the Price Water Storage Tank, Locklear Water Storage Tank, and Irabarne Water Storage Tank.

Remote outposts and ranching infrastructure like the Andrus and Golf Ranch and the Game Department Cabin are reached via the winding Queens Hwy and Scenic Drive. The terrain is deeply incised by drainage systems including Sixshooter Canyon, Last Chance Canyon, and Upper Dog Canyon, while notable high points like Pickett Hill and Martine Ridge provide landmark reference points within the national forest boundaries.
