About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the southwestern portion of this high-elevation New Mexico landscape, where the northern slopes of the Gallinas Mountains dominate the terrain. This 1995 revision reflects a remote ranching and grazing environment defined by a critical network of water infrastructure. Local history is traced through numerous family-named and functional water sources like Pruett Well, Harris Well, and the DuBois Center Windmill.

The presence of Bates Ranch in the southeast corner and several livestock tanks, including Lockey Tank and Sawmill Tank, indicates the area's continued reliance on managed water points for survival in the arid high country. The map also documents the boundary between Torrance and Lincoln Counties, providing a clear record of the jurisdictional and land management lines within the forest and surrounding open range at the close of the twentieth century.
