2023 Map of Walker Canyon

About this map

Walker Canyon and the high elevations of Redrock Mesa dominate this southwestern New Mexico landscape, where the border between Hidalgo and Grant counties cuts through the terrain. The drainage of Blue Creek serves as a primary north-south artery through the hills, collecting runoff from numerous side canyons including Little Sycamore Creek and Cottonwood Canyon. Human presence is defined by ranching infrastructure, most notably Walker Tank and the access provided by Brown Ranch Rd. The map reveals a topography of isolated basins and draws, such as Redrock Basin and Mud Springs Draw, reflecting the arid environment and seasonal water flow typical of this region's geomorphology.
