About this map

Arid range lands define this 1981 survey of the high desert along the Guadalupe Co and Lincoln Co boundary. The landscape is characterized by intermittent water sources essential for livestock and local habitation, including Shinery Well, Johnson Well, and Boggie Well. These isolated points of water are the primary landmarks in an expanse otherwise defined by gradual elevation changes and the prominent Gacho Hill. Surveyors also documented the essential infrastructure of the era, such as a Pipeline cutting through the northern sections and several stock Tanks. The east-west Base Line provides a rigid survey anchor against the rolling topography, illustrating how early cadastral mapping imposed order on this sprawling New Mexico territory.
