About this map

Causey sits at the southwestern edge of this 1970s topographic study, defined by the Causey Corporate Boundary as the town straddles the high plains of Roosevelt County. The landscape is characterized by its position on the New Mexico-Texas border, where a network of fine red dashed lines indicates selected fence lines across the open terrain. This survey captured the area just as aerial photogrammetric methods from 1969 were being finalized into a detailed field check in 1970.

Infrastructure for the region's utilities and industry is prominent, including a long Pipeline and a Pumping Sta located near a Radio Tower in the southeastern quadrant. Local burial grounds are marked simply as Cem, while the presence of Gravel Pits suggests the extraction of local resources. Numerous Well sites are scattered throughout, highlighting the importance of water access in this high-altitude borderland.
