1971 Map of Alvin NW

About this map

High plains topography and remote infrastructure define this 1971 survey of the borderlands between Phillips Co and Yuma Co. The landscape is dominated by a recurring pattern of numerous small depressions and isolated water points marked simply as Well, indicating the critical nature of groundwater for this arid agricultural region. A notable family-named landmark, Vogus, sits toward the southern portion of the sheet, likely representing a local ranch or historic homestead. A long Pipeline cuts across the southwestern sections, tracing a straight line through the undulating terrain. This map captures a specialized rural environment where human presence is sparse and focused on the essential resources required for high-plains ranching and farming during the early 1970s.
