1967 Map of Chivata Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Gallo Arroyo and Chivata Canyon dominate this landscape of high plains and deeply cut drainage systems in southeastern New Mexico. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the map reveals a remote ranching territory along the border of Lincoln and Chaves Counties. Human activity is centered on water management for livestock, evidenced by numerous man-made features like South Camp Tank, Canal Tank, and North Windmill. A primary historical artery, the Old Military Road, cuts across the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a reminder of early transportation routes through this arid terrain. The Circle F Ranch stands as the primary named settlement, surrounded by a network of named canyons including Treasure Canyon, Shorty Canyon, and Padilla Canyon, which illustrate the complex topography and local naming conventions of the era.
