About this map

The Mimbres River valley defines the northeastern corner of this southwestern New Mexico landscape, where the settlement of Sherman sits near the Perrault Ranch Cem. This area is characterized by high-elevation landforms including Whitehorse Mountain, Mimbres Peak, and Blue Mountain. The presence of Big Mill south of Seneca Canyon and water sources like Clark Tanks and Seneca Tanks indicates a history of resource management and livestock ranching in the high desert.

Modern local transport is marked by unique residential or ranch names such as Red Eagles Trl and Namaste Way near Tom Brown Canyon. To the south, the settlement of Faywood anchors the corner of the map near Cold Water Creek. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous drainages, including Lambright Draw, Negro Canyon, and Oak Canyon, showing the complex watershed that feeds into the river systems of Grant County.
