2013 Map of San Andres Peak

About this map

The San Andres Mountains define this high-altitude landscape in Doña Ana County, where seasonal drainage and vital water sources dictated the patterns of use. Rising to the prominent San Andres Peak, the terrain is carved by steep corridors like Lead Camp Canyon and Ash Canyon. The distribution of scattered water points such as Horse Spring, Dugout Spring, and Church Bug Spring reveals the essential infrastructure required for survival in this arid environment. Man-made catchments like Schultz Tank and Parker Tank supplement the natural springs, marking specific locations of human activity and livestock management within the expansive Public Land Survey System grids of t18s r4e and t19s r4e. These features provide a clear picture of the land's hydrology and the topographic challenges of the central New Mexico range.
