1967 Map of Swallow Nest Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Sacra Ranch sits near the northwestern corner of this New Mexico landscape, which is defined by the complex drainage systems of Swallow Nest Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals an arid rangeland where life and labor are organized around scarce water sources. The distribution of isolated sites like the Cavel Sch and the School Section Well illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of the high plains near the De Baca and Chaves County line.
