2011 Map of Rabbit Ear Mountain

About this map

Wanette Cemetery sits in the northern reaches of this high plains landscape, a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in Union County. Much of the eastern and northern terrain is defined by the Rita Blanca National Grassland, where the open shortgrass prairie is cut by the drainage networks of Alamos Creek and Seneca Creek. To the west, the prominent volcanic landmarks of Rabbit Ear Mountain and Rabbit Ear Mesa rise above the surrounding flats, serving as historical navigational beacons in this corner of New Mexico. The map details a network of rural routes, including County Rd A074 and Co Rd A080, which connect isolated homesteads and ranch lands across the breaks of Goodin Canyon.
