1967 Map of Elsie Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high desert drainage systems along the Lincoln and Chaves County line define this 1960s landscape, where intermittent water sources dictate the placement of human activity. The map reveals an arid ranching economy centered around isolated outposts like Salt Creek Ranch, Porter Ranch, and Jones Ranch. These homesteads are connected by a network of unimproved dirt roads that navigate a complex topography of deeply incised ravines, including Elsie Canyon, Cherry Canyon, and Catclaw Canyon.
