1982 Map of Beacon Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Animas Mountains and the winding path of the Continental Divide dominate this high-desert landscape in Hidalgo County. This provisional survey captures a quiet corner of New Mexico where transportation infrastructure reflects both historical and modern utility. An Old Railroad Grade traverses the northern portion of the map, while a modern Pipeline On North Side Of Road and scattered Jeep Trails show the evolving use of the land. Human presence is sparse, centered primarily around a Trailer Park and several resource extraction sites like the Gravel Pit. The map is punctuated by prominent physical landmarks such as Beacon Hill and several small-scale water management features including a Check Dam, which speak to the importance of water and elevation in this arid environment during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
