About this map

The boundary between the Lincoln National Forest and the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation bisects this New Mexico landscape, marking a shift in land management and heritage. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south drainages, including Sheeppen Canyon, Alamo Canyon, and Perry Canyon, which carve through the high country. Human activity in this arid environment is centered on water management and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by features such as Minters Corral and the localized Cow Camp No 5.
