2017 Map of Sheeppen Canyon

About this map

The Lincoln National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Sacramento Mountains, where the border of Lincoln and Otero counties bisects a network of deep canyons and seasonal water resources. This 2017 survey details a terrain defined by its water management, featuring a dense concentration of named tanks such as Storm Tank, Water Hole Tank, and Prairie Dog Tank, which historically supported livestock and wildlife in this arid environment. The road network is sparse, centered on Indian Svc Rte 31 and Indian Svc Rte 66, reflecting the land's primary use for conservation and resource management. Notable landmarks like Deadhorse Hill and the branching Sheeppen Canyon provide clear navigational points across the varied topography of t11s r15e and neighboring townships.
