1963 Map of Tanner Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Jernigan Homestead and several family-named ranching outposts define this high-desert landscape in the early 1960s. The terrain is characterized by the dramatic escarpment of The Rim, which marks a sharp transition into the Lincoln National Forest along the eastern edge. Water management is central to life here, as evidenced by a network of engineered catchments including Dee Tank, Hook Tank, and Johnson Tanks. These features, along with an extensive Pipeline, illustrate the infrastructure required to sustain cattle at locations like Tanner Ranch and Cauhaupe Ranch. Drainage patterns are carved by the seasonal flows of Jernigan Wash and Piñon Creek, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads across this corner of Otero County.
