2020 Map of Tuscocoillo Canyon

About this map

Tuscocoillo Canyon winds through the high plains of Quay County, where the Canadian River cuts across the northern edge of the landscape. This 2020 survey documents a ranching environment defined by a grid of numbered roads, including Quay Road T and Quay Road 72, which navigate the elevation changes between the canyon floor and the surrounding plateaus. The placement of livestock watering sites like Collins Tank, Hard Bottom Tank, and Red Hill Tank highlights the essential water management required in this arid region of Eastern New Mexico. Genealogists and local historians will find the Anniston Cem in the southern portion of the map, a small but significant landmark of the area's rural settlement history. The map also delineates township and range boundaries such as t13n r34e and t12n r35e, reflecting the systematic public land survey structure that continues to define property and administration in the region.
