2017 Map of Pickett Hill

About this map

The Lincoln National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Otero and Eddy counties, characterized by the dramatic topography of the Guadalupe Mountains. The terrain is defined by deep incisions such as Sixshooter Canyon, Pierce Canyon, and Last Chance Canyon, which drain into the surrounding draws. This arid environment is marked by an extensive network of water management infrastructure, including the Last Chance Water Storage Tank, Anderson Tank, and Shattuck W Tank, reflecting the essential nature of water storage for ranching and forest management. Unusual landmarks like Mail Box and the Poor House appear alongside established routes like Scenic Drive and the National Livestock Road, while Pickett Hill serves as a prominent high point in the central part of the quadrangle.
