2020 Map of Wahoo Ranch

About this map

Wahoo Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape on the border of Catron and Socorro Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of drainages including Rock Springs Canyon, Wahoo Canyon, and West Red Canyon, all of which feed toward the Alamosa Creek corridor. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote cattle-ranching infrastructure of the Gila National Forest, where water management is critical to the local economy. Named features like Bull Pasture Tank, Knisely Tank, and Badger Hole Tank mark the efforts to capture seasonal runoff across the undulating terrain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Dusty Cem in the northeastern quadrant, a small landmark near the winding path of Alamosa Creek. The map provides a clear view of the forest roads and primitive tracks, such as FR 913 and Forest 478 Rd, that connect these isolated canyon systems.
