1981 Map of Encinoso

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Encinoso sits at the gateway to the high elevations of the Lincoln National Forest, where the ranching culture of Lincoln County meets the northern slopes of the Capitan Mountains. This 1981 edition documents the transition from open grazing land to the steep canyons of the national forest, marked by historic points of interest such as the Las Tablas site and its associated Las Tablas Spring. The landscape is defined by its water sources and livestock infrastructure, featuring numerous water tanks and named springs like Macho Spring and Gum Spring. Settled life is represented by the Block Ranch, a Cem (cemetery), and a Landing Strip, illustrating the logistical needs of remote New Mexico ranching and resource management. The map's detail extends into the complex drainage systems of Arroyo del Macho and Carrizo Creek, which cut through the limestone and igneous terrain typical of this mountain range.
