1964 Map of Wild Horse Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Woods Ranch and Hertz Ranch anchor the high desert landscape of central New Mexico during the mid-1960s, a region defined by its vital water infrastructure. The topography is dominated by the massive Techado Mesa and the winding course of the Rio Salado, where life is sustained through an intricate network of tanks and windmills. This survey documents the critical reliance on features like the Dog Windmill, Sissy Windmill, and Lower Pine Windmill to support cattle ranching in an arid environment. The map also captures the transition between Valencia and Catron Counties, showing the rugged drainage patterns of Cebolla Canyon and Wild Horse Canyon. Several natural springs, including Techado Spring and Onion Spring, provide rare permanent water sources in this remote western interior.
