1950 Map of Corn Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Corn Ranch serves as the focal point for this ranching landscape in Chaves County, mapped during a period when water access dictated the survival of rural New Mexico outposts. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems, including South Berrendo Creek, Blackwater Draw, and Eightmile Draw, which are supported by a complex network of private water improvements. The map identifies several named water sources such as Rosenberg Well, Berry Well, and Middle Well, alongside a prominent Diversion Ditch near the southern boundary. Transportation through this arid terrain relied on the Roswell-Pine Lodge Road, which provided a critical link across the hills. The presence of Windmill (Aband) and Tank (Aband) labels suggests shifting patterns in land use and water management at the mid-century mark.
