1982 Map of Taylor Well

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Jornada Experimental Range (USDA) dominates this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, where specialized land management and federal scientific interests converge. The presence of the Jornada Experimental Range Headquarters and the adjacent White Sands Missile Range Test Facility (NASA) reflects the era's dual focus on agricultural research and aerospace testing. This orthophotomosaic detail reveals a complex network of ranching infrastructure, primarily consisting of numerous water tanks like Frog Tank, Brockman Tank, and Taylor Tank, which were essential for sustaining livestock across the arid plains of Ragged Flat. A solitary Landing Strip and various Jeep Trails provide the only significant marks of modern transit through this specialized government territory, situated just west of the Missile Range Boundary.
