1961 Map of Romero Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Elephant Butte Lake State Park Reservoir dominates this landscape along the border of Socorro and Sierra counties, where the Rio Grande flows through a series of dramatic canyon systems. The map illustrates a transitional desert environment defined by seasonal arroyos and a critical water management infrastructure, including the Conveyance Channel and the constricted passage of The Narrows Rio Grande. Human presence in this arid region is marked by remote outposts and livestock infrastructure, such as the Old Pankey Ranch and a network of isolated wells including Pete Well, Cuervo Well, and Taylor Well.
