1989 Map of Loco Canyon

About this map

The Rio Felix corridor anchors the southern portion of this Chaves County landscape, where the watercourse meanders through a valley floor marked by essential rangeland infrastructure. Ranching life is documented through a network of water sources, including the Old Loco Well, Upper Loco Well, and Salt House Well, which were vital for livestock in this arid New Mexico terrain. The drainage systems of Loco Canyon and Little Salt House Canyon carve a complex series of draws into the uplands, illustrating the natural erosion patterns of the region. A remote Landing Strip and the presence of Janey Tank reflect the logistical adaptations required for managing large tracts of land. This survey, updated in the late 1980s, captures the enduring character of the high desert before modern developments altered the traditional ranching landscape.
