1978 Map of Santo Nino Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Garcia Ranch sits near the eastern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Torrance County, where the high desert is defined by a network of drainage features and livestock infrastructure. The area is marked by deep topographical carvings such as Santo Niño Canyon, Carrizo Canyon, and Viejo Canyon, which descend from the higher wooded elevations toward the expansive Pintada Draw and Amarillo Draw. Human presence in this arid environment is recorded through a series of water developments necessary for ranching life, including Alvas Tank, Cañoncito Tank, and several specifically named water sources like Lower Lobo Well and Shallow Well. Genealogists and local historians may find interest in the isolated Grave and Cem locations that sit apart from established settlements, suggesting the solitary nature of early rural life near Lobo Hill.
