1981 Map of Broken Back Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Broken Back Crater dominates this volcanic landscape along the border of Socorro and Lincoln Counties, rising above the lava flows of The Malpais. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and military corridor in the early 1980s, where survival is tied to a network of named livestock tanks such as Hidden Water Hole Tank, Hobbs Tanks, and Marcos Tank. To the north, Upper Ranch and Black Hills Ranch mark the limited human settlements in a terrain carved by Lobo Canyon and Hidden Canyon.
