About this map

Hasperos Camp stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, defined by a complex network of ephemeral water drainage and cattle-ranching infrastructure. The terrain is deeply incised by Little Hasperos Canyon and Hasperos Canyon, which dominate the central and southeastern portions of the map. These canyons, along with named drainages like Gallo Arroyo and Lavade Draw, dictate the movement of both water and travel through this arid environment.

Water management is evidenced by several catchment sites, including North Hasperos Tank, Parker Tank, and Doug Tank. These features, combined with the ranching-related routes of Bogle and Co Rd B001, illustrate the ongoing human adaptation to the high New Mexico elevations. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, documenting the grid-based township and range organization across this sparse but structured territory.
