About this map

Little Alegres Mountain and Wagontongue Mountain anchor this high-altitude landscape in western New Mexico. The area is defined by its drainage systems, with seasonal waterways like Dipping Vat Draw, Bear Canyon, and Saw Mill Draw cutting through the terrain. Human presence is sparse, centered on the settlement of Collinsville and the community site at Greens Gap, which includes the local Greens Gap Cemetery.

A network of backcountry roads, including Pipeline Springs Rd and Horse Springs Rd, provides access across the prominent Wallace Mesa toward Dutch Oven Pass. The map captures a ranching-oriented environment where functional landmarks like the Nauce Windmill remain significant features of the topography. This survey details the complex network of forest roads and canyons that have served this remote part of Catron County into the early 21st century.
