1965 Map of Puertecito Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Magdalena Mountains dominate the central topography of this mid-1960s survey, bisected by the prominent ridge of the Devils Backbone. The landscape is a study in arid-land ranching and resource extraction, where the survival of operations like the V L Ranch and Rienhardt Ranch depended on a network of scattered water sources. Numerous labeled basins and wells, including Poniente Tank, Puertecito Well, and Escondido Tank, trace the efforts to sustain livestock across the desert floor.
