2010 Map of Tuscocoillo Canyon

About this map

Anniston Cemetery and several established family ranches define the high plains landscape of Quay County at the start of the 21st century. The map illustrates a region where water management is central to survival, marked by a network of specialized infrastructure such as Ealen Windmill and South Woods Windmill. Local settlement patterns are tied to geography and grazing, with named locations like Woods Place, Cox Ranch, and Molyneaux Ranch serving as primary landmarks across the grid of Quay roads. The rugged north is carved by the Canadian River and its namesake drainage, Tuscocoillo Canyon. This 2010 survey provides a look at the modern persistence of traditional New Mexico ranching culture, showing how life continues to revolve around vital water sources like Red Hill Tank, West Well, and Collins Tank.
