1985 Map of Whitehorse Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Whitehorse Mountain and Mimbres Peak dominate the high terrain of Grant County in this mid-1980s USGS survey. The landscape is defined by a complex network of canyons and draws that direct seasonal runoff toward the Mimbres River in the northeast and Cold Water Creek to the south. This environment reflects the practical necessities of ranching in the high desert, evidenced by the strategic placement of Seneca Tanks and Clark Tanks to capture and store water in an otherwise arid drainage system. The naming of features like Tom Brown Canyon, Oak Canyon, and Negro Canyon suggests a history of local land use and geographic marking by early inhabitants. While most of the area is accessible only by Trail or unimproved roads, the topographic detail provides a clear view of the high-altitude peaks and the deeply carved paths of Lambright Draw and Seneca Canyon.
