2017 Map of Shaw Mountain

About this map

Shaw Mountain and Eds Peak anchor this high-elevation corner of Catron County, where the southern terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and deep cuts. The landscape transitions from relatively open township sections in the north to the rugged topography of the Shaw Canyon and Fullerton Spring Canyon systems. Published by the U.S. Geological Survey, this 2017 edition details the public land survey system across portions of t5s r12w and t6s r11w, illustrating how the land was partitioned in this sparsely populated high-desert region. The map preserves the exact alignment of drainage basins and peaks, providing a precise topographic view of a territory primarily shaped by its hydrology and mountain landmarks.
