1965 Map of Cornucopia Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The boundary between Otero Co and Chaves Co cuts across this high-desert landscape, where ranching life in the mid-1960s relied heavily on a complex network of man-made catchments. Cattle operations are the primary human footprint here, anchored by established sites like Coupland Ranch, Gage Ranch, and Merritt Ranch. To sustain livestock in this arid environment, the terrain is dotted with numerous water tanks named for local families or locations, including Alva Smith Tanks, Ogg Tank, and John Gentry Tank.
