1968 Map of Nelson Reservoir NE

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Coyote Creek meanders through the high desert landscape of the Coyote Hills, defining the drainage patterns of this borderland region in the late 1960s. This survey captures a rugged area where the Arizona New Mexico state line and the border between Apache and Catron counties intersect. The map documents a sparsely populated terrain characterized by pastoral infrastructure and small-scale resource extraction. Evidence of ranching is found in scattered Corrals and numerous Water Tanks, while several Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit indicate local road-building or maintenance activities of the era. The presence of the Becker Res Dam in the southwestern corner highlights early water management efforts essential for supporting life and livestock in this arid environment, connected largely by a network of winding Jeep Trails.
