1995 Map of Bay Buck Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Alexander Mountain and the Bay Buck Peaks anchor this section of the Cibola National Forest, where high-desert drainage systems create a complex network of canyons and draws. Surveyed in the mid-1990s, the landscape is defined by its water management for ranching, centered on the Mouth of Bear Ranch and various stock tanks like Roberts Place Tank and the Central Stock Tank Scrapes Windmill. The map tracks several major geographical transitions, including the First Standard Parallel South which cuts across the drainage basins of Whitewater Canyon and Bear Trap Canyon. This topography reveals how early land use was dictated by the seasonal flow of water through features such as Foster Draw and Indian Canyon, providing a look at Socorro County's ranching infrastructure before late-century modifications.
