1996 Map of Carne

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Lewis Flats and the surrounding high desert of Luna County reveal a landscape defined by water management and transit infrastructure at the close of the twentieth century. The small settlement of Carne sits alongside a primary transportation corridor, supported by a network of isolated water sources like Hannigan Well and the Peach Orchard Windmill. The terrain transitions from the alluvial fans of the south toward the rising slopes of the Cookes Range in the northwest. Local industry and utility are visible in the presence of a Sandpit and a Radio Facility, while the distribution of numerous named windmills, including Wolf Windmill and Eagle Windmill, underscores the historical reliance on groundwater for ranching and settlement in this arid New Mexico region. The map reflects a 1990s perspective built upon 1960s topographic data, documenting the enduring footprint of these rural features.
