About this map

Panama Ranch sits within the high arid landscape of the Lincoln National Forest, where water management defines the human footprint. This 2013 survey reveals a complex network of catchment systems essential for ranching and survival in the Guadalupe Mountains. Named features like the Corner-Water Storage Tank, Sargent Water Storage Tank, and Pot Hole Tank are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the critical importance of every localized drainage and spring.

The dramatic topography is anchored by the Guadalupe Rim and a series of deep cuts including Box Canyon and Wildhorse Canyon. Further south, The Rim provides a stark elevation change near Cantrell Lake and Pup Canyon. The presence of established sites like Corner Well and various family-named tanks highlights the enduring ranching history of Otero County, even within federally protected forest lands.
