2023 Map of Avis

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Avis and Pinon serve as the primary focal points of this high-altitude landscape in the southern Sacramento Mountains. Located partly within the Lincoln National Forest, the terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons and water-management features essential for ranching and settlement in this arid environment. The map shows numerous cattle tanks, such as Railsplitter-Number One Tank and Lardhole Tank, which suggest a localized economy focused on livestock. Geographically, the area is carved by significant drainages including Bluewater Canyon and Antelope Canyon, while the southern portion transitions toward the Piñon Creek basin. For genealogists, the inclusion of the Avis Cem and Piñon Cem provides important anchors for family history research in this part of Otero County.
