1978 Map of South Taylor Tank

About this map

The Lincoln National Forest boundary marks the southern portion of this high-desert terrain, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of dry washes and canyons. Published in the late 1970s, this survey captures a remote section of the border between Chaves and Otero counties, a region primarily used for ranching and resource extraction. The presence of numerous water catchments like Collier Tank, Holt Tank, and South Taylor Tank underscores the importance of water management in this arid environment, providing essential points of interest for those tracking historical land use.
