2013 Map of Bedford Hill

About this map

Revuelto Creek meanders through the heart of this High Plains landscape, carving a distinct drainage pattern through the arid terrain of Quay County. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural ranching environment where water management is central to the land's utility, marked by features such as Joe Keyes Tank and the perennial Bedford Spring. The topographic rise of Bedford Hill stands as a prominent landmark in the southwestern quadrant, while the distribution of Mesa Windmill and Champion Windmill indicates the ongoing reliance on groundwater for livestock. A network of section-line roads, including Quay Road 57 and Quay Road V, connects established local holdings like the Wooten Ranch and Wallace Ranch. The map also captures the headwaters of several intermittent streams, including San Jon Cr and Saladito Cr, which define the local watershed.
