1958 Map of Arroyo Cuervo

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Rincon Valley landscape in southern New Mexico is defined by the vital waters of the Rio Grande and the intricate network of the Garfield Canal and irrigation laterals. This arid terrain is deeply scarred by numerous dry washes, including Arroyo Cuervo, Arroyo Yeso, and McLeod Arroyo, which illustrate the region's flash-flood hydrology. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the brush, notably La Capilla de Don Silverio and various Ruins that point to earlier habitation and small-scale religious centers in the desert. Commercial and industrial activity is represented by a Claypit and the Hatch Airport (Aband), reflecting shifts in local transportation and land use. Genealogists may find interest in the small Cem located near the eastern edge of the survey, a quiet marker of the families who settled this rugged border between Sierra and Dona Ana Counties.
