About this map

Skute-Stone Arroyo and several significant drainages carve through the arid landscape of Sierra County in this recent 21st-century study. The terrain is defined by the braided paths of Las Animas Creek to the north and Percha Creek to the south, both of which serve as major topographical markers for this portion of New Mexico. The network of rural routes, including Ladder Ranch Rd and Animas Creek Rd, traces the historical access points to remote ranching lands and grazing tracts.

Local landmarks such as Wicks Gulch and Greyback Arroyo provide essential orientation for researchers tracing family holdings or historical movement across the range. Smaller features like Seco Cr and Greenhorn Arroyo further illustrate the intricate watershed system. This documentation emphasizes the enduring road network, from Gold Dust Rd in the west to the named crossing at La Luz, showing the intersection of natural arroyos and man-made trails in a high-desert environment.
