1981 Map of Pedernal Arroyo

About this map

Pedernal Arroyo and Arroyo del Macho dominate this Lincoln County landscape, illustrating a drainage system of ephemeral watercourses typical of the New Mexico high desert. Based on 1970s aerial photography and field checking, the map documents the sparse but vital water infrastructure required for ranching and land use in this arid region. The presence of named water points like Old Hogadero Well, Hogadero Well, and the Nix Tank reservoir suggests the historical importance of specific groundwater sites for local cattle or sheep operations. Beyond the natural hydrology of Hasperos Canyon and Hogadero Draw, the map indicates localized industrial activity through a Gravel Pit located near the center of the quadrangle. This detailed topographic study preserves the naming conventions and terrain features of the area before modern land-use shifts.
