1996 Map of Selden Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Rio Grande snakes through the southwestern corner of this quadrangle, carving the deep passage of Selden Canyon through the desert floor. This landscape is defined by the stark contrast between the fertile Rincon Valley and the surrounding high desert, dominated by landmarks like Tonuco Mountain and Cedar Hill. The expansive New Mexico State University Animal Science Ranch occupies a significant portion of the central plateau, illustrating the region's long-standing connection to academic research and livestock management in arid environments.
