1981 Map of Kyle Harrison Canyon

About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates the southern half of this New Mexico landscape, where the terrain breaks into a complex network of drainages including Kyle Harrison Canyon and Seco Canyon. Surveyed in the early 1980s, the map illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal water management, featuring numerous named catchments such as Antelope Lake, Cactus Flat Lake, and Cocklebur Lake. A quiet human presence is marked by the Pleasant View Cem and isolated water sources like Kyle Harrison Spring and Millset Spring. The northern reaches transition into more open country, dotted with scattered livestock tanks and wells, while a Pack Trail winds through the southern ridges, reflecting the traditional methods of traversing these remote canyons before more modern road development.
