2020 Map of Shannon Canyon NW

About this map

Sierra County's arid rangeland is defined by a network of ranching roads and essential water catchments in this 2020 record. Named features like Russel Cain and J Cain Rd suggest the enduring family footprints upon this landscape, marking the routes and properties that sustain local land use. The presence of water sources such as Sevenmile Tank and the S C S Tank illustrate the infrastructure required for livestock and land management in this section of New Mexico. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, documenting townships from t12s r1w down to t14s r1e. This modern survey serves as a precise guide to the contemporary road system, including Co Rd A-27 and Co Rd A025, which cut across the high desert terrain.
