1981 Map of Carrizozo

About this map

The town of Carrizozo, situated at the intersection of major highway routes and the Southern Pacific rail line, serves as the anchor for this desert and mountain landscape. To the west, the volcanic geology of The Malpais is preserved within Valley of Fires State Park, while the eastern horizon is dominated by the peaks of the Jicarilla Mountains and Capitan Mountains. This 1981 survey documents a region defined by its high-altitude topography and extractive history, featuring remote settlements like White Oaks and Jicarilla.
