2020 Map of Bullis Spring Ranch

About this map

Lincoln National Forest land defines the southern portion of this territory, where the complex canyon systems of the Sacramento Mountains transition into high-altitude ranching country. The presence of Bullis Spring Ranch and several named water sources like Bullis Spring, West Bear Springs, and East Bear Springs underscores the vital importance of dependable water in this arid landscape. Man-made infrastructure is represented by a series of livestock improvements, including the Steve Water Storage Tank, Indian Water Tank, and Foster Tank. This network of tanks and seeps, such as Sargent Seep, supported the local cattle industry within the national forest boundaries. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts along the Guadalupe Rim, with the county line between Chaves and Otero counties crossing the southern portion of the survey.
