About this map

Summit sits at the intersection of a high-desert transportation network where the Summit Hills meet the expansive Lordsburg Mesa. This 2010 survey documents a landscape defined by its water management infrastructure, essential for survival in the arid Animas Valley. The map reveals a system of localized water catchments and livestock infrastructure, including High Lonesome Tank, Road Tank, and Summit Tank.

Surface drainage is channeled through features like Railroad Wash, reflecting the environmental constraints of the region. The presence of working landmarks such as High Lonesome Windmill and Hackberry Windmill underscores the ongoing ranching character of this corner of New Mexico. The grid of service roads, including County Rd-A012, provides a look at the modern connectivity maintained across these remote reaches of the mesa.
