2013 Map of Serpentine Bends
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Guadalupe Mountains dominate this 2013 survey of the New Mexico backcountry, where the high desert terrain transitions between the Lincoln National Forest and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The landscape is defined by a complex network of deep drainages, including the winding Serpentine Bends and the formidable Guadalupe Ridge. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are meticulously noted, from Hess Spring and Lechuguilla Spring in the north to Lowe Spring and Stone Spring further south.
