2017 Map of Ponderosa Tank

About this map

Agua Fria Cr winds through this high-altitude landscape in Catron County, where water management is the primary driver of development. The land is largely defined by the presence of the Apache National Forest, which covers the southern portion of the quadrangle. Scattered throughout the terrain are essential livestock or wildlife watering points such as Ponderosa Tank, Antelope Tank, and the descriptively named Year-long Tank. The transportation network is sparse, consisting mainly of forest and county routes including Box Lake Rd and Demetrio Cr Rd. This survey captures the intersection of public land management and the practical infrastructure required for ranching and resource conservation in the American Southwest.
