1978 Map of Bisonte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Bisonte serves as a small point of reference in this arid stretch of Baca County, where the plains are defined by ephemeral watercourses and deep-cut drainage patterns. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a straight north-south line through the landscape, anchoring the region's transport network during the late 1970s. This survey illustrates the sparse, high-plains settlement pattern of the era, where named landmarks are often vital water sources like Big Bankiter Well or distinctive terrain features such as Lone Rock Draw and Sand Arroyo. A massive network of subsurface infrastructure is also evident, with multiple Pipeline corridors traversing the sections, reflecting the region's mid-century energy development alongside traditional ranching and rail interests.
