About this map

Manuelito Canyon and the surrounding high desert mesas of McKinley County define the landscape of this 1960s survey. The area shows a sparse network of ranching and remote outposts, centered around small settlements like Vander Wagen and Two Wells. Water is the primary driver of development here, with natural features such as Two Wells Springs and the Whitewater Arroyo dictating the placement of early infrastructure. The presence of the Pine Tree Mission and Rico Ranch reflects the localized community centers that supported residents in this arid environment.
