1965 Map of Carne

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail lines dominate this high desert landscape of Luna County, converging near the small settlement of Carne. The terrain transitions from the rugged slopes of the Cooks Range in the northwest to the wide, open expanse of the Lewis Flats in the south. This 1960s survey illustrates a specialized ranching and infrastructure economy dependent on groundwater, evidenced by a network of named water sources like Peach Orchard Windmill, Kelly Windmill, Wolf Windmill, and Eagles Windmill. A notable Radio Facility and a Sandpit indicate mid-century industrial and communications activity in this arid region. The presence of a winding Jeep Trail and various wells further underscores the remote, utilitarian nature of the territory during this era of New Mexican history.
