1961 Map of Hickman Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Hickman Ranch serves as a primary reference point in this arid New Mexico landscape, situated at the confluence of several prominent drainage systems. The terrain is defined by a network of deep incisions including North Canyon, Red Canyon, and East Canyon, which drain the higher elevations toward the east. The map illustrates a complex topographical transition through Puertocito Gap, where the rugged landforms give way to the winding course of Milligan Gulch. Survey control points such as VABM Donna and VABM Sheep mark the high ground between the various canyon systems, like Eaton Canyon and San Juan Canyon. This 1961 field check shows a landscape of sparse development, where geographic features like Sheep Canyon and Rock Creek dictate the movement and location of the few established ranching outposts.
