2010 Map of Shannon Canyon NW

About this map

Isolated homesteads like Cain Ranch and Sanchez Ranch define this landscape in the high desert of Sierra County. Situated in a region of vast open terrain and intermittent drainage, these ranches represent the sparse but persistent agricultural presence in central New Mexico during the early 21st century. The map depicts a simple infrastructure network, primarily consisting of County Road A-26 and County Rd A025, which serve as the primary links between these remote holdings. The topographic detail highlights the subtle drainage patterns and canyon systems that characterize the local geography north of the Elephant Butte area.
