1968 Map of Bulldog Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bulldog Mesa and the prominent Mesa Redonda dominate the landscape of this Quay County region during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a rural ranching economy where named homesteads such as Owens Ranch and Fife Ranch are connected by a network of unimproved roads and fence lines. This era shows the critical role of water management in the high plains, evidenced by the presence of the Conchas Canal, Savage Lateral, and Regulator Reservoir No 2. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by small, isolated burial sites including Newhome Cem and Apodaca Cem. The drainage patterns of Plaza Larga Creek and Apodaca Creek define the local topography, carving through the terrain between the mesas and providing a lifeline for the cattle operations and sparse settlements throughout the quadrangle.
