2013 Map of Wilde Tank

About this map

Old Wright Place sits within a landscape defined by the water management systems of Otero County. This 2013 survey illustrates the reliance on localized catchment features such as Wright Tank, Lee Tank, and the CCC Tank, which are essential for supporting life and livestock in this arid environment. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the rising elevation of Otero Mesa, where the terrain transitions into complex drainage patterns. Significant geographical markers like Pendejo Wash and Rough Canyon cut through the high desert, providing a clear record of the area's natural hydrology. The map's grid-based division reflects the systematic land management of the T21S and T22S ranges, anchoring the sparse human presence to specific topographical landmarks.
