2023 Map of Sheridan Canyon

About this map

The Big Hatchet Mountains and their intricate drainage systems define this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. The terrain is marked by a complex network of arroyos and canyons, including Thompson Canyon, Dark Canyon, and Mine Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff toward the Hachita Valley in the east. Human infrastructure in this arid environment is primarily centered on water management for livestock and wildlife, evidenced by numerous tanks like Hale Tank, Double Tank, and Mine Canyon Tank. The presence of New Well Draw and the prominence of New Well Peak suggest historical efforts to tap into deeper aquifers. Traversing the ridges and basins is the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which follows the spine of the continent past landmarks such as Bugle Ridge and down into the southern flats near Little Top Hot Butte.
