2013 Map of Tank Mountain

About this map

Gibson Place and the homestead at Jim Robinson anchor this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. The terrain is defined by the volcanic rises of Tank Mtn and Little Tank Mtn, which stand as prominent landmarks above the drainage systems of Big Cr and Animas Cr. In this arid environment, water management is a primary feature of the landscape, evidenced by the named X T Tank. To the south, the foothills of the Peloncillo Mountains begin to rise, creating the deep cuts of Cabin Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates a region largely characterized by isolated ranching outposts and a network of county roads, such as CO Road C005 and Rancholito Rd, that connect these remote family-named locations across the desert floor.
