1968 Map of Bedford Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Revuelto Creek and San Jon Creek wind through the high plains of Quay County in this 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the cattle-ranching and water infrastructure essential to this arid environment, evidenced by labels for the Wooten Ranch (Headquarters) and the Wallace Ranch. Water management for livestock is particularly prominent, with named sites such as Joe Keyes Tank, Bedford Spring, and the Mesa Windmill dotting the terrain. In the northern reaches, the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR cuts a straight line through the territory, highlighting the importance of rail transport for moving goods across the eastern New Mexico mesas. The eponymous Bedford Hill rises as a landmark above the creek drainage, overlooking a region where small-scale extraction is noted by the presence of localized Gravel Pits.
