About this map

Carbon dioxide extraction infrastructure defines this Harding County landscape, where the Mitchell family name is tied to several carbonic well sites, including Carbonic Number Five Mitchell and Carbonic Number Seven Mitchell. These industrial footprints share the terrain with traditional ranching outposts like Bar T Cross Camp and several named windmills, such as Jake Windmill and Cedros Windmills, which indicate the vital role of groundwater management in this high-plains environment.

The topography is dominated by the winding course of Arroyo del Alamo and the prominent rise of David Hill, which overlooks the small David Cemetery. Throughout the quadrangle, dispersed settlements like Arbuckle, Waldron, and Shrum are connected by a network of rural routes, including County Road N-2-N. The presence of sites like Amoco Number One State FM and Amerigas Number Twenty Mitchell reflects the continuing intersection of energy production and cattle ranching in the northeast New Mexico grasslands.
