1963 Map of Cornucopia Ranch SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Runyan Line Shack stands as a solitary human marker in this arid Otero County landscape, centered on the drainage systems of Lucky Draw and the extensive Cornucopia Draw. The map reveals a land managed for water, featuring the Cornucopia Diversion Dam and a network of artificial catchments including East Tank, Rock Tank, and Double Tank. These features suggest a ranching economy dependent on captured runoff in a region where natural permanent water is scarce. A single Drill Hole in section 8 and various unimproved dirt roads and fence lines further indicate the sparse but intentional use of this territory. The terrain is defined by its complex contouring and seasonal watercourses, reflecting the environmental challenges faced by mid-century land users in this part of New Mexico.
