1996 Map of Prisor Well

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Lyons Draw and Blackshire Draw define the drainage patterns across this arid landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. This late-twentieth-century survey reveals a network of vital water points, such as Martin Tank, CCC Tank, and Hidden Tank, which supported ranching operations in this high-desert environment. The presence of the White Sands Missile Range Bdy indicates the proximity of significant federal land use and national security infrastructure. Small settlements or ranching outposts like Renick Well and the namesake Prisor Well are the principal landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of land use in this corner of Sierra and Dona Ana counties. The map highlights how sparse resources dictated the placement of roads and habitation, centering on the few reliable wells and tanks scattered throughout the terrain.
