2020 Map of Summerford Mountain

About this map

Summerford Mtn dominates the southern landscape of this region in Doña Ana County, forming a prominent geological focal point within the larger Doña Ana Mountains range. The desert terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the winding path of Lucero Arroyo, which cuts through the arid basins to the west of the peak. A network of county roads, including Co Rd E080 and Co Rd E078, provides the primary access through this sparsely populated territory. The map illustrates a strictly rural environment where land use is partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the grid of township and range boundaries such as t20s r1e and t21s r2e. This survey captures the relationship between high desert topography and the infrastructure of the Chihuahuan Desert floor in the modern era.
