2020 Map of Taylor Mountain

About this map

The Mimbres River defines the central drainage of this landscape along the border of Grant and Luna counties, north of the settlement of Old Town. The desert terrain is anchored by geologic landmarks like Table Mtn and Taylor Mtn, which rise above the surrounding canyons and draws. Significant recreation and history intersect at City of Rocks, where a network of paths including The Hydra Trail and the Cienega Trail navigate unique rock formations. To the west, Faywood Hot Spring marks a historically significant geothermal feature near Cold Water Cr. and the southern reaches of the City of Rocks park boundary. The map illustrates a transition between open ranch land, such as that near Blue Mountain Ranch Rd, and the riparian corridor of the river valley.
