2001 Map of Pickett Hill

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Lincoln National Forest dominates this high-country landscape along the border of Otero and Eddy Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, including the prominent Last Chance Canyon and Locklear Canyon, which provide a complex topography for ranching and livestock operations. The development of water infrastructure is a central theme of this 2001 revision, with numerous catchment points such as Polk Tank, Pickett Tanks, and Anderson Tank supporting the area's utility. A unique landmark in this remote section is the Pickett Hill Communication Facility atop Pickett Hill, marking a modern layer of infrastructure amidst the deep-cut ravines of Robinson Draw and Hamm Draw. Traces of local land use are visible through the National Livestock Road and family-named features like Thayer Well and the Middleton Well Storage Tank Corral, which reflect the historic and ongoing importance of water rights in this arid environment.
