2001 Map of Gowdy Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Crow Flats and the rising slopes of the Guadalupe Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Otero County. The map details a transition from the broad, open expanse of the flats to the complex canyon systems of the Lincoln National Forest, marked by The Rim. Water security for livestock and remote living is a central theme of the layout, shown through scattered infrastructure like Browning Well, Woods Tank, and several other numbered wells and tanks. The ephemeral drainage of Piñon Wash snakes through the center of the sheet, providing a vital geographic corridor between the Gowdy Ranch and the southern Rauch Ranch. This 2001 revision illustrates the enduring layout of the ranching economy and the rugged physical barriers found in Little Dog Canyon and Box Canyon.
