2010 Map of Shaw Mountain

About this map

Shaw Mountain and the high point of Eds Peak anchor this high-desert landscape in Catron County, where drainage patterns define the geography. The map traces a system of seasonal watercourses and topographic transitions, most notably through Shaw Canyon and the winding path of Fullerton Spring Canyon. A series of local roads and unimproved trails intersect at high elevations, providing the primary access to this sparsely populated region. This 2010 survey illustrates the fundamental hydrology of the area, including the curiously named Y Cyn, and offers a precise look at the landforms as they existed before modern environmental shifts altered the local drainage basins.
