1956 Map of Parish Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Rio Peñasco flows across the northern reaches of this mid-century ranching landscape, a region defined by scattered water sources and isolated homesteads. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as Fourmile Draw and Red Tank Draw, which converge toward the North Seven Rivers in the southeast. Ranching operations are the primary footprint on the land, evidenced by several named property headquarters and vital water infrastructure. Settlements like Gardner and Siecrest are situated alongside private holdings such as Coffin Ranch and the namesake Parish Ranch. The reliance on groundwater in this arid Eddy County environment is clear from the distribution of named sites like Arnold Well, Neds Well, and Stallin Well, which provided the necessary resources for livestock and survival in the high desert of the 1950s.
