1972 Map of Wade Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Canadian River carves a deep path through this portion of the Pablo Montoya land grant, defining a landscape of high mesas and drainage systems. Water management is central to the era's land use, as evidenced by a network of named stock tanks and watering points including Elise Tank, Lake Tank, and Picket Pens Tank. The presence of a Cem near Arroyo del Mesteño suggests a long-standing human presence in this ranching country, even where formal towns are absent.
