1961 Map of Cuchillo

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mud Springs Mountains anchor this arid New Mexico landscape, rising between the desert floor and the growing community of Truth or Consequences. To the northwest, the small settlement of Cuchillo sits near St Joseph Ch, serving as a focal point for the ranching and agricultural efforts indicated by the numerous livestock water sources like Pendergrass Tank and Cantrell Tank No 1. The drainage patterns are dominated by the Cuchillo Negro Creek and the deep cut of Mud Springs Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff through the alluvial plains.
