1972 Map of Sheep Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The historical Santa Fe Trail crosses the northwest corner of this landscape, following the same path as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad alongside Timpas Creek. This arid Otero County region is defined by its water infrastructure, essential for ranching at the time of this 1970s survey. A network of wells and windmills like Mills Well, Electric Well, and Lees Windmill are scattered across the terrain to sustain operations along Hoe Ranch Arroyo and the East Fork of the drainage system.
