About this map

Sterling Ranch and the rail stop at Campbell anchor this high desert landscape during the late 1960s. The region is defined by its wide-ranging ranching operations and the critical path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts across the northern terrain. Water management is the primary focus of development here, evidenced by the numerous specialized features like the North Windmill Well, East Windmill Well, and White Tank.

Southward, the topography drops toward Lloyds Canyon, while the eastern edge is dominated by the rising elevation of Palma Mesa. Exploratory activity is marked by scattered Drill Holes, suggesting subsurface investigations for minerals or water alongside established sites like the Graham Ranch. This survey provides a clear view of the infrastructure supporting remote New Mexico ranching and transportation before modern updates reached the area.
