2013 Map of Tuscocoillo Canyon

About this map

Tuscocoillo Canyon and the Canadian River define the northern terrain of this Quay County landscape, where the high plains of eastern New Mexico meet dramatic drainage breaks. The map documents a quintessential ranching environment, structured by an extensive grid of section-line roads such as Quay Road 72 and Quay Road W. Life in this arid region is centered on water management, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks and wells, including Hard Bottom Tank, Salt Well, and West Well. The presence of the Anniston Cem and the small settlement at Brown in the south provides important touchstones for family historians. Ranching operations are well-distributed across the quadrangle, with Woods Place, Cox Ranch, and Molyneaux Ranch serving as primary landmarks alongside vital infrastructure like the Eaten Windmill.
