1973 Map of Albert

About this map

Albert serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape in Harding County during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a sparse but established settlement pattern where local education and communication are centered at Albert Academy and the Albert PO. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological breaks, including the deep incisions of Plum Rincon Canyon and Lalo Canyon as they drop toward the Tequesquite Creek valley. A notable shift in the local economy is evidenced by the presence of a Carbon Dioxide Well and a Drill Hole in the southern sections, signaling industrial interest in subsurface resources alongside traditional ranching. For genealogists, several small Cem sites and a single Grave are recorded, providing specific points of interest for family history research in this rural portion of Northeastern New Mexico.
