2020 Map of Pipeline Canyon

About this map

Pipeline Canyon serves as the central topographic feature of this high-desert landscape in Otero County. Situated within the expanse of the Lincoln National Forest region, the area is defined by sharp elevation changes and drainage systems that feed into the canyon. The southern portion of the quadrangle is traversed by Owen Prather Hwy, providing the primary transit corridor through these arid lands. This modern 2020 survey illustrates the remote character of the basin-and-range terrain, focusing on the public land survey system grid across township lines like t20s r10e. For those studying the geography of south-central New Mexico, the map details the precise contours of the local watershed and the limited road network that dictates access to this isolated area.
