1998 Map of Clayton SW

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this landscape in northeastern New Mexico, where the high plains are carved by seasonal watercourses and drainage patterns. The topography reflects a sparsely populated ranching environment during the late 1990s, characterized by intermittent water features such as Sand Draw and the winding course of Carrizo Creek. Small localized settlements and family-named landmarks like Bates and Walker provide essential context for genealogical research, pinpointing specific habitations in this open Union County terrain. A local Gravel Pit indicates small-scale industrial activity, while the intricate contour lines reveal the subtle elevation changes of the draws and mesas that define the regional geography. This survey provides a clear look at land management and rural settlement patterns before the turn of the twenty-first century.
