1940 Map of Bandanna Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high plateau and canyon country of Eddy County are revealed in this 1940 survey, a landscape defined by an extensive network of cattle ranches and isolated water sources. Family-run operations like Tatman Ranch, Cawley Ranch, and Mendoza Ranch are scattered across the terrain, connected by primitive tracks such as the Panama Cawley Road. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident from the numerous man-made features like CCC Tank, Loafer Tank, and Raider Well. To the south, the terrain descends into the deep cuts of Last Chance Canyon and Anderson Canyon as it enters the Lincoln National Forest. Notable landmarks like the prominent Bandanna Point and the wide expanse of Bogle Flats provide a clear sense of the topography before later development or modernization of the ranching infrastructure.
