1967 Map of Mariano Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Mariano Springs serves as a focal point for this arid high-desert landscape in Catron County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity and survival. The map reveals an intricate network of tanks, wells, and springs, such as Stevens Tank, Gaines Well, and Cottonwood Spring, which supported the livestock and ranching efforts of the mid-20th century. Terrain features like the massive Mariano Mesa and the expansive Marshall Flat dominate the topography, while numerous ruins indicate earlier habitation or agricultural structures that had already fallen into disuse by the time of the 1966 aerial survey. Transport is limited to State Route 117, which cuts through the canyon systems like Dudley Canyon and across Sonoreno Draw. The distribution of family-named water sources, including Crossman Well and Tarpley Well, provides a clear view of the land-use patterns in this sparsely populated region of New Mexico.
