About this map

Coyote Creek meanders through this high-altitude landscape along the border of Apache and Catron Counties during the late 1960s. The area is defined by its remote ranching and industrial utility, evidenced by the presence of a Corral in the north and the Becket Res Dam at the southern edge. The map captures a moment when the terrain was largely accessible via a network of Jeep Trails, supporting localized resource extraction. This is visible in the clusters of Gravel Pits and Borrow Pits that dot the topography, likely supporting regional road construction or maintenance. Strategically placed Water Tanks reflect the essential infrastructure required for livestock management in this arid environment where Arizona and New Mexico meet.
