About this map

The Guadalupe Co Lincoln Co boundary line bisects this high-plains landscape, where the geography is defined more by ranching infrastructure and water catchments than by dense settlement. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Sanders Ranch and the related Roadrunner Ranch and Roadrunner Ranch North mark the active human presence in this region of Lincoln County. These ranching outposts are connected by a network of local forest or ranch roads, such as f027 and f034. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the presence of Manzanita Lake and several named catchments including Manzanita Tank and Bono Tank. The map illustrates the sprawling Public Land Survey System divisions, spanning from T2n R17e down to T1s R18e, providing a clear record of how these vast western parcels were organized for grazing and development.
