About this map

Red Bluff and the surrounding high desert of Lincoln County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and canyons. This 2017 survey shows the stark, arid landscape where Gallo Arroyo and Red Bluff Draw carve through the terrain. The presence of Washburn and several well-defined county roads suggests a land primarily utilized for ranching or land management rather than dense settlement.

Remote canyons such as Jesus Canyon, Gallo Canyon, and North Canyon illustrate the dissected topography typical of this region of New Mexico. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes including Hackberry Rd, Vawter Rd, and Co RD b014, which follow the natural contours of the draws. The map serves as a clear record of modern property and land divisions, delineated by the township and range lines of t2s r16e and t3s r16e.
