1981 Map of Carrizozo
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The high-desert terrain of central New Mexico is defined by the stark contrast between the volcanic flows of the Malpais and the rising peaks of the Sacramento Mountains. At the western edge, the Valley of Fires State Park marks a dramatic geological boundary near the town of Carrizozo. The settlement pattern here follows the elevation, with historic mining sites like Jicarilla and the American Mine situated among the northern foothills, while the town of White Oaks sits as a reminder of the region's late-nineteenth-century mineral boom.
