Ms. Marsh, Nothing I have available lists a Scalier or Scaler Ranch in Chaves County. The closest geographic feature I found is Escalante Lake in Lincoln County near Corona. Someone on the NMGenWeb mailing might have an idea where to look, so I'm including the list in this message. It would be helpful to know date ranges when this ranch was in operation.

I am trying to find a source that would show the Scalier or Scaler Ranch land in Chaves County. The request was sent to me from a rancher in the Lincoln Forest. Thank you for any guidance you can offer. Corrie Marsh cmarsh@unt.edu University of North Texas library
