About this map

Arroyo del Gallo carves through the southwestern portion of this landscape, marking the dominant drainage pattern in a region defined by its water-scarcity features. This 1981 survey of the high desert terrain in Lincoln County captures a sparse network of ranching infrastructure and hydrological markers. Named points of interest are few, but significant for understanding local water management and land use, including Middle Well in the northeast and a lone Tank situated in the north-central flats. The map provides a precise look at the township boundaries between T 1 S and T 2 S, reflecting the grid-based surveying that organized the settlement of the New Mexico interior. For those researching the history of land allotments or early ranching routes, these specific water sources and boundary lines serve as critical landmarks in a primarily open landscape.
