2013 Map of Wahoo Ranch

About this map

Gila National Forest spans the western edge of this territory, where the border between Catron and Socorro counties runs through a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainages. The area is defined by its ranching heritage, with Wahoo Ranch and Cox Ranch established near the base of these high-desert ridges. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by a network of windmills such as Badger Windmill, Silver Windmill, and Windy Gap Windmill, which support livestock across the drainages of Alamosa Cr and Silver Cr. The presence of the Dusty Cem near West Red Canyon provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early inhabitants of these isolated ranching communities. Narrow tracks like Forest Road 913 and NM-52 serve as the primary conduits through the complex terrain of Havill Canyon and Antelope Canyon.
