1970 Map of Clayton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Carrizo Creek snakes through this high plains landscape of Union County, providing a vital watercourse in an otherwise arid expanse. Surveyed in 1969 and 1970, the map reveals a sparsely settled ranching territory defined by intermittent drainages like Sand Draw. The settlement of Rardin stands as a focal point for the surrounding area, which is primarily marked by section lines and elevation markers rather than dense development. Scattered resources, including a Well and multiple Gravel Pit locations, point to the modest industrial and agricultural infrastructure necessary to sustain life in this corner of New Mexico. The terrain is characterized by gradual slopes and draws that dictate the flow of seasonal waters toward the larger creek bed.
