1963 Map of Bar Y Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Preston Beck Grant lands and the East Boundary Anton Chico Grant converge in this high-desert landscape of Guadalupe and San Miguel Counties. The territory is defined by a ranching economy reliant on carefully placed water sources, including Sabino Springs and numerous stock tanks like Antelope Tank and Bookout Tank. The terrain is marked by the prominent Bar Y Dome and the deep cut of Box Canyon, while ephemeral water bodies such as Sabino Lake, Puerticito Lake, and Dry Lake dot the plateau. Evidence of early infrastructure is seen in the Pipeline that traverses the southern reach of the quadrangle. The Bar Y Ranch and Cowden Ranch serve as the primary human landmarks in a region where geography and land grants dictated the patterns of settlement and land use.
