1981 Map of Loco Draw

About this map

Mile High Ranch anchors this high-plains landscape in the early 1980s, situated near the intersection of the Guadalupe Co Lincoln Co and Lincoln Co De Baca Co lines. The terrain is defined by its water management systems, essential for cattle ranching in this arid environment. A series of catchment features and livestock watering points like Barvel Lake, Cantina Tank, and the Meadow Pasture Tanks dot the drainage of Loco Draw. Wind-powered infrastructure is prominent, with several wells marked as West Pasture Windmill and Twin Windmills providing critical water sources across the sections. The industrial presence is limited to a straight-line Pipeline and a small Gravel Pit, reflecting a landscape primarily dedicated to open-range livestock production rather than dense settlement.
