1971 Map of Broadview

About this map

Broadview serves as the central hub of this eastern New Mexico landscape, situated amidst the high plains of Curry County. The topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Tierra Blanca Creek, which winds eastward through the terrain. This 1971 survey, updated with 1983 aerial data, illustrates a region dominated by agricultural ranching and large-scale land management, evidenced by the numerous wells and a prominent Tank located in the southern sections. Local industry and road maintenance are marked by a Gravel Pit along the creek, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the time. The map's grid-like road system and scattered water sources highlight the specialized adaptations required for settlement and commerce in this semi-arid environment during the late twentieth century.
