2023 Map of Swallow Nest Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The high desert boundary where De Baca and Chaves Counties meet is defined by a network of drainage draws and deep-cut canyons in this 2023 survey. The landscape is punctuated by vital water sources, including the distinct Blue Hole Spring and Headwater Spring in the northern reaches, transitioning into the prominent Swallow Nest Canyon. These springs and seasonal catchments like Drake Tank and Redman Tank reflect the long-standing ranching infrastructure necessary to sustain life in this arid region of New Mexico.
