1973 Map of Ancho

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The settlement of Ancho serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the valley. This 1973 survey details a region defined by its ranching and mining heritage, featuring the Ancho Cem and several resource extraction sites like the Jicarilla Mine and various unnamed Mines. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Ancho Gulch toward the higher elevations of the Jicarilla Mountains and Jacks Peak, with much of the southern portion preserved within the Lincoln National Forest. Significant family holdings, including the Miller Ranch and Wilson Ranch, are clearly marked alongside essential water sources such as Sinks Tank and the Wilson Tanks, which were vital for sustaining livestock and industry in the arid New Mexico climate.
