2023 Map of Shannon Canyon NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Sierra County is defined by a network of ranching infrastructure and rural corridors in this contemporary survey. Remote water sources like Sevenmile Tank and S C S Tank provide essential points of orientation in a region dominated by the Public Land Survey System's township and range grid, spanning areas like t13s r1w and t12s r1w. The map documents a sparse but vital transport network, including Co Rd A-26 and J Cain Rd, which facilitate movement across the arid terrain. Names such as Russel Cain reflect the long-standing familial and individual ties to the land, offering a modern look at the continued occupation and management of these expansive Western New Mexico reaches.
