1969 Map of Cienega School

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Crow Flats and the Alkali Lakes dominate this arid borderlands landscape, where New Mexico and Texas meet. The survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern tied to water sources and ranching, evidenced by the Akers Place Windmill and the Lewis Ranch. This remote area, straddling the line between Otero County and Hudspeth County, features the rising peaks of the Brokeoff Mountains to the east. Local life centers on small landmarks such as the Cienega Sch and Cienega Cem, which provide essential clues for genealogists tracing family histories in this desert environment. Significant topographic features like Humphrey Canyon and its smaller counterpart, Little Humphrey Canyon, cut through the eastern uplands, while a simple Jeep Trail provides one of the few named routes across the flats.
