1968 Map of Briscoe Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Quemado Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this rangeland survey, illustrating the high-desert terrain of Quay County in the late 1960s. The map centers on the Briscoe Ranch, a focal point of local activity in an area defined by intermittent drainages and isolated water sources like Dyer Well. The northwestern corner is clipped by the steel rails of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad, which provided the primary industrial connection for this ranching district. A network of primitive roads and a Jeep Trail snake through the drainage basins of Blanca Creek, Bluewater Creek, and Charco Creek, revealing the sparse but functional infrastructure required to manage livestock across these expansive mesa lands.
