1963 Map of Gage SW

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high desert of the southwest in the early 1960s, marking the border between Grant and Luna counties. This arid landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, where isolated features like Sleeper Tank, Rocky Tank, and the Tod Hunter Reservoir sustained livestock and local ranching operations. The Home Ranch serves as a primary point of human settlement amidst the rugged topography of the Cedar Mountain Range and prominent peaks like Sheep Mountain.
