About this map

Escondido Cem sits on the northern edge of this Lincoln County landscape, a vital point of reference for genealogists tracking local families. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and ridges, where Escondido Creek and Stinking Creek cut through the high ground. The naming of these landmarks, from Deadman Canyon to Chavez Canyon and Nelson Canyon, reflects the area's grazing and homesteading history. The mapping of township and range lines like t10s r17e across this complex topography shows the systematic division of public lands. In the southern portion, seasonal water sources like Baca Spring Creek and the deep cuts of Talley Canyon and Trail Canyon illustrate the watershed patterns essential to the ranching economy of this part of New Mexico.
