2013 Map of Strawberry Peak

About this map

Strawberry Peak and the high ridges of the San Andres Mountains dominate this 2013 topographic survey of Sierra County. The terrain drops sharply from the peaks of Gunsight Peak and Black Top Mtn toward the expansive, arid Tularosa Valley to the east. This landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and water sources, with numerous incisions like Ash Canyon, Workman Canyon, and Sulphur Canyon carving through the mountain front. Sparse water resources are noted at Eagle Nest Spring and Bat Ranch Spring, which would have been critical points for land use in this desert environment.
