1972 Map of Beaty Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves through the northwestern corner of this high plains landscape, featuring a notable Rock Crossing and rugged canyon systems. Cattle ranching and water management define the human imprint on the land, as evidenced by a dense network of windmills and small earthen dams like the Padilla Windmill, Telephone Dam, and Sixteen Windmill. These features indicate a mid-century reliance on localized water sources to sustain livestock across the arid terrain of Round Prairie.
