1981 Map of Arroyo Serrano West

About this map

Armstrong Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln Co, where ephemeral drainage patterns define the topography. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the northern reaches of the Lincoln National Forest, a terrain of deep incisions including Copeland Canyon and Michallas Canyon. These seasonal watercourses, such as Arroyo Serrano and Arroyo Seco, flow through a landscape marked by ranching infrastructure and localized resource extraction, evidenced by a Radio Facility and a Gravel Pit. Low-impact transportation routes like the North Base Trail and an unnamed Trail provide access to the interior of the forest boundary. The presence of Lonetree Lake in the northwest suggests a rare permanent or semi-permanent catchment in an otherwise arid drainage system composed of features like Middle Arroyo and Red Lick Canyon.
