2020 Map of Queen
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Queen is situated at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Eddy County, where the southern reaches of the Lincoln National Forest meet the northwestern edge of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The settlement is anchored by the Queen Cem and surrounded by a complex network of canyons and ridges. Water sources are critical identifiers in this environment, with numerous tanks and springs such as White Oaks Spring, Sitting Bull Spring, and Watkins Tank supporting the region. The map reveals an extensive trail system, including the White Oaks Sitting Bull Falls Trail and the CCC Trail, which navigate the dramatic elevation changes around Sitting Bull Falls and the Guadalupe Ridge. This era of the survey highlights the intersection of public land management and local geography, from the West Hess Hills to the deep depressions of Dark Canyon.
