About this map

Jones Well and Rock House Well stand as vital water sources in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County during the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Pinatosa Canyon in the northwest and the expansive Largo Canyon reaching through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These features, along with South Largo Canyon, indicate a landscape where seasonal water flow and livestock ranching shaped human activity. The map reveals a sparse network of unimproved roads and fence lines, reflecting a period of traditional land use in central New Mexico. This survey, based on 1973 aerial photography and 1975 field checks, captures the topography before significant modern development, preserving the locations of isolated wells and named geological formations essential to local history.
