Rayado
Fire Map 4/25/2022 Rayado was originally named Carson-Maxwell when it was established in the early 1940s.<br>When Waite Phillips made his second grant to the BSA it was clear that the single base camp model established at Five Points (now Ponil) was no longer practical. Additional base camps were needed in the central and south pieces of the ranch and so Carson-Maxwell and Cimarroncito were created. When the system was refined once more in time for the 1969 season the fixed base-camp model was eliminated and the pre-planned trek system debuted with a mix of themed staff camps and trail camps
