About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates the high country of this 1930s survey, defined by the towering Capitan Mountains and their many rugged drainages. The map reveals a remote ranching economy where isolated outposts like Merchant Ranch, Padilla Ranch, and Hinchley Ranch are connected by an intricate network of trails, including the Base Trail and Summit Trail. Water is the lifeblood of this landscape, evidenced by the numerous named sources such as Macho Spring, Koprian Springs, and the flow of Rio Bonito.
