1971 Map of Apache Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Apache Canyon cuts through the high plains of Quay County, revealing a complex network of drainages that define this New Mexico landscape. The topography is dominated by the erosion patterns of Saladito Creek and Apache Creek, which have carved deep into the terrain. Human presence is sparse but precisely marked, focusing on essential infrastructure like the Radio Facility in the northeast and several industrial Gravel Pits concentrated near the canyon floor. For those researching family history in the area, the inclusion of Brown Cem provides a specific point of reference in an otherwise open range. The map also identifies the locality of Gregory, positioned on the flatlands east of the main canyon breaks, illustrating the classic Western settlement pattern where homesteads and small communities clung to the edges of reliable water sources like Dog Creek and Revuelto Creek.
