About this map

Granville Canyon and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County. The area is characterized by deep incisions through the terrain, with watercourses like Archuleta Creek and Agua Chiquita Creek winding through the steep-walled canyons. Human presence is sparse and concentrated near established landmarks such as the Blackwater Ranch, which sits at the confluence of several landforms including the expansive Blackwater Canyon. The cartography reveals a series of secondary canyons, including Cherry Canyon, which feed into the larger Granville system. This 1981 edition, based on 1970s aerial photography, provides a detailed look at the topographic relief and ranching footprint of this portion of New Mexico before more modern development altered the land use patterns.
