1973 Map of South Rector Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The high desert landscape along the New Mexico-Texas border is defined by a complex network of dry washes and canyons, where mid-century infrastructure supports remote ranching and energy interests. Crossing the Eddy and Culberson County line, the terrain transitions through the Yeso Hills and into deep limestone carvings like Mc Kittrick Canyon and Big Canyon. Water security in this arid environment is evident through a series of isolated improvements, including Star Windmill, Mare Windmill, and North Windmill, which served livestock across the vast South Rector Canyon area.
