1995 Map of Rough Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Cibola National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the terrain is defined by the steep slopes of Rough Mountain and Cougar Mountain. This 1995 revision reveals a rugged topography managed for both natural resources and livestock, punctuated by several established cattle operations including Bagley Ranch, Erramouspe Ranch, and Herring Ranch. The presence of several historic extraction sites, such as the Corona Queen Mine and the Conqueror Mine, points to the region's mineral history. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by a dense network of specialized structures like the South Mountain Trick Tank, South Saddle Trick Tank, and El Paso Wells. The settlement at Gallinas and a lonely Cemetery near the center of the sheet provide localized points of interest for genealogists tracing families associated with these remote high-desert outposts.
