2010 Map of Stockard Well

About this map

Stockard Well anchors this high-desert landscape in Otero County, where water management is the primary driver of development and geography. The intermittent course of the Sacramento River meanders across the northern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous small-scale water features that sustain local ranching operations. These infrastructure points, including Horse Camp Tanks, Rawhide Tank, and Coyote Tank, are connected by a network of county roads such as County Rd-F052 and County Rd-F001. The map reveals a highly functional rangeland economy at the start of the 21st century, where even isolated features like Section Tank or CC Tank serve as critical landmarks for navigation and land use in a region defined by its arid environment and sparse human settlement.
