1963 Map of Whitetail

About this map

The Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation defines the landscape of this 1963 survey, where high-altitude ridges and deep canyons dictate the pattern of settlement and water management. The small community of Whitetail serves as the focal point, situated near a series of vital water sources including Whitetail Springs and the nearby Whitetail Well. Evidence of early 20th-century life and local genealogy is anchored by the Whitetail Cem, while the higher elevations of the Sacramento Mountains are marked by the Lookout Tower on Harley Mtn.
