1967 Map of York Ranch SE

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high desert landscape of Catron Co and Valencia Co centers on a complex network of water infrastructure vital to ranching in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the broad drainage of Veteado Draw and the rugged contours of Goat Tank Canyon, where elevation changes indicate the transitional terrain between open range and higher ground. This survey reveals a reliance on isolated water sources, documented through numerous family-named or location-specific features such as Clemente Well, Martin Well, and Lowlands Well No 1. Cultural history is noted by the presence of a small Cem and unidentified Ruins in the southeastern quadrant, suggesting earlier habitation in this arid region. The distribution of these wells and tanks like Elsies Tank illustrates the carefully managed land use necessary for livestock in this remote part of New Mexico.
