1972 Map of Cerro Prieto

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Cerro Prieto rises from the high desert of western New Mexico, marking a landscape defined by cattle ranching and isolated water sources in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a sparse but essential network of family-held properties and infrastructure, including the Hubbell Ranch, Montaño Ranch, and Williamson Ranch. This era of land use is underscored by the density of named water points such as the Lucero Windmill, Tejana Windmill, and Dipping Vat Windmill, which served as the lifeblood for livestock in this arid environment.
