About this map

Pedro Armendaris Grant No 33 dominates the northwestern portion of this 1948 terrain study, marking a significant Spanish land grant legacy in the high desert. The landscape is defined by the sharp vertical rise of the San Andres Mountains to the east and the sweeping drainage of Jornada Draw to the south. This era shows a ranching economy reliant on a critical network of water catchments, including Sevenmile Tank, Adobe House Tank, and Antelope Tank, which supported livestock across the arid plains.
