2013 Map of Flying H NW

About this map

Slaughter Ranch and McKnight Ranch anchor this landscape along the border of Lincoln and Chaves Counties in the early 21st century. The map reveals a drainage system defined by deep cuts such as Twin Butte Canyon, Monument Canyon, and Chivo Canyon, which funnel toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The presence of the Skeen Ranch Airport in the east suggests the importance of private aviation in managing these expansive ranching operations. The topography is further marked by essential water resources like Shack Tank and the seasonal flow of Crooked Cr, which carves through Crooked Canyon near the southern boundary. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of land use and water management in the high desert, where named roads like Co Road E030 provide the primary connections between isolated homesteads and grazing lands.
