2020 Map of Kellog Well

About this map

Kellog Well sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in an area defined by its water management and varied terrain. The map documents a rugged section of the Cibola National Forest, where the topography is carved by numerous drainages including Sargent Canyon, Morine Canyon, and Taylor Canyon. These natural features are interspersed with vital ranching infrastructure such as Kellog Tank and Point of Rocks Tank. The boundary between Catron and Socorro counties bisects the western half of the sheet, providing a precise jurisdictional look at this remote region. For those studying the rural development of New Mexico, the placement of these tanks and wells alongside Forest 476 Rd illustrates the historical and contemporary reliance on localized water sources for land use in the high country.
