2001 Map of Bullis Spring Ranch

About this map

Lincoln National Forest land and high desert canyonlands dominate this 2001 revision, which captures the complex network of water resources required for ranching in this arid New Mexico landscape. The map reveals how isolated outposts like Bullis Spring Ranch, Terry Ranch, and Peede Ranch managed life on the land through an intricate system of water collection points. Numerous storage facilities, such as the Steve Water Storage Tank and Corner Storage Tank, appear alongside natural features like Sargent Seep and West Bear Springs. The topography is defined by deep, winding drainages including Indian Canyon, Bullis Canyon, and Sargent Canyon, which intersect near the Chaves Co Otero Co boundary. The presence of Dry Lake and various "tanks" like Foster Tank highlights the seasonal nature of water in this territory, while Rim Road provides a primary transit corridor through the broken terrain.
