1963 Map of Robertson Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lincoln National Forest land dominates this high-country landscape, where the Chaves and Otero county lines intersect among a complex network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Robertson Canyon, Cuevo Canyon, and Angel Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff through the arid plateau. Human presence is sparse and largely tied to ranching and water management, evidenced by small upland catchments such as Mule Canyon Tank and the South Pasture Tank No 1. Isolated landmarks like the Jernigan Ranch and the Cox Cem provide rare genealogical anchor points in this remote portion of the Sacramento Mountains. The map also captures specific industrial and geological features, including a Gravel Pit and several small bodies of water like Hale Lake and Boat Lake situated on the broader expanse of McDonald Flat.
