2010 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

The Mimbres River drainage defines the center of this high-desert landscape in Luna County, where the settlement of Old Town stands as a focal point near the intersection of several local routes like County Rd-A010. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations, including Taylor Mountain and Table Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses like Lampbright Draw and Cold Water Creek. Distinctive natural landmarks such as the City of Rocks Arch and the geothermal waters at Faywood Hot Springs highlight the unique geological character of the region. Local land use is characterized by large holdings such as the Tigner Ranch, illustrating the ranching economy that has long shaped this part of New Mexico.
