1982 Map of Taylor Well
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Jornada Experimental Range (USDA) dominates this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, reflecting decades of federal agricultural and scientific research. Established to study desert ecology and livestock management, the range is anchored by the Jornada Experimental Range Headquarters and a sparse but vital network of water sources such as Taylor Well, Frog Tank, and Corners Tanks. This orthophotomap, based on early 1970s imagery, reveals the stark intersection of ranching heritage and the Space Age, as the western edge of the White Sands Missile Range (NASA) Test Facility encroaches upon the open rangeland.
