Ancho Valley and its surrounding drainages define this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County. The settlements of Cooper and Largo sit at the center of a complex network of local roads and cattle-range infrastructure, where vital water sources like Indian Spring and Killgore Tank supported the region's ranching economy. The map reveals a highly structured system of land management, marked by numerous named ranch roads including Ranchouse Rd, Straley Rd, and Sparkey Rd. Significant geographic features such as Red Hill Canyon, Largo Canyon, and Big Pine Canyon cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural watercourses that dictated the placement of early homesteads and modern tanks like Storey-Tank and Cathy Tank.
