About this map

Coyote Canyon and the rugged drainage of O Bar O Canyon characterize this remote landscape in Catron County. The map documents a terrain defined by complex water management and high-country transit, where numerous named livestock tanks such as Shipping Pasture Tank, Chu Chu Tank, and North Homestead Tank dot the high desert. These features reflect the area's ongoing ranching legacy, providing essential water sources across the arid basins.

Logistical movement through the region is centered on routes like Loco Mountain Rd and the evocatively named The Turkey Track. Notable landmarks like Buck Pass and Crutchfield Camp indicate traditional points of congregation and navigation for those working the land. Deep incisions in the earth, including Railroad Canyon and Horse Camp Canyon, reveal the primary drainage patterns that lead toward Beaver Canyon in the southeast.
