About this map

Rio Hondo defines the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the settlements of Tinnie and Picacho sit along the valley floor. The terrain is a complex network of deep drainages, including Casey Canyon, Gallo Canyon, and Bonney Canyon, which cut through the uplands south of the river. This 1989 provisional survey reveals a remote ranching economy dependent on scattered water sources. Numerous named wells such as Galles Well, Trouble Well, and Divide Well are positioned throughout the territory to sustain livestock in the arid environment. A small Cem near Picacho and a remote Landing Strip suggest the isolation of these communities. These features, along with small water bodies like Galles Lake and Lost Lake, illustrate the vital importance of water management in Lincoln County's canyon country during the late twentieth century.
