1972 Map of Packers Gap

About this map

Shale Hills and the complex drainage of Crooked Arroyo define this high-plains landscape along the border of Otero and Las Animas counties. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is marked by deep incisions such as Minnie Canyon, Iron Canyon, and Bent Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of seasonal waterways in this arid region. The presence of Honey Windmill and scattered wells reflects the vital importance of water management for local ranching operations during this era.
