2010 Map of Cornucopia Canyon

About this map

Cornucopia Canyon cuts a long path through this high desert ranchland, serving as a primary corridor for travel and water management in a drainage network defined by Piñon Creek and numerous draws. The landscape is marked by a series of family-named ranching operations, including Coupland Ranch and Merritt Ranch, which highlight the region's enduring agricultural heritage. A complex system of reservoirs and tanks, such as School Tank, Doll Day Tank, and Alva Smith Tanks, underscores the vital importance of water security in this arid environment. To the southeast, the Collins Hills rise above the surrounding terrain, anchored by Dry Peak. The road network, including Stevens Draw Rd and Water Tank Rd, follows the natural contours of the draws, connecting isolated ranch sites across the vast Chaves County interior.
