2013 Map of Surrender Canyon

About this map

Surrender Canyon carves through the high desert landscape where the borders of Arizona and New Mexico meet. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely settled region defined by its prominent landforms and critical water sources, such as Uranium Spring and the Puerco River in the southern reaches. The map details a network of essential travel routes, including Indian Rte 12 and Aspen Canyon Rd, which connect the scattered points of interest across the mesas. To the west, Bowman Memorial Park stands near the road, while the distinctively named Tea Pot formation serves as a notable landmark for those navigating the plateau. This era of mapping shows the intersection of tribal lands and state lines, emphasizing the importance of geographical features like Low Mesa Rd in defining the local infrastructure.
