2017 Map of Wagon Canyon

About this map

The county boundary between Socorro Co and Lincoln Co bisects this high-desert landscape, dominated by a series of dramatic canyons and drainage basins. Wagon Canyon serves as the central topographic feature, flanked by Lutz Canyon and Taylor Canyon to the north. The area is characterized by its vital water management infrastructure, indicated by numerous family-named stock tanks such as Pop Jackson Tank, Juan Farmer Tank, and M S Crockett Tank. These features suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and livestock, where surface water is carefully captured across the arid terrain. To the south, the map reveals Long Canyon and the winding course of Sixshooter Canyon, while WSMR P Route 11 provides the primary transit corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle.
