About this map

The Canadian River cuts through the southern portion of this landscape in Quay County, its winding course defining the local geography. This high plains region is dominated by an extensive network of water infrastructure, essential for ranching and settlement in an arid environment. Named wells like Garrison Well, Barnes Well, and Litton Well are scattered across the terrain, alongside family-named landmarks such as Shoenail Ranch. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources, with a Gravel Pit and Clay Pit located near the riverbank. Geologic and water features like Sand Springs and the Blue Hole provide distinct landmarks, while various windmills, such as Woods Windmill and Clay Windmill, emphasize the reliance on groundwater to sustain the ranching operations that have shaped this part of New Mexico.
