1968 Map of Sanchez Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Canadian River winds through the southeastern corner of this high-plains landscape, crossing the boundary between New Mexico and Texas. This 1968 field-checked survey reveals an arid environment defined by its water sources, where the Quay County and Oldham County line meets the state border. Human activity is largely centered on ranching and water management, indicated by the numerous named wells scattered across the terrain, including Brisco Well, Nara Visa Well, and Walk-up Well. Small outposts like Dean Ranch and Coggins Camp serve as the primary landmarks in a region marked by extensive shifting sand and the seasonal flow of Arroyo Visa. The map documents the intricate network of jeep trails that connect these remote wells and springs, such as Sanchez Springs and the nearby Sanchez Tank, illustrating how the ranching economy adapted to the demands of the Llano Estacado frontier.
