1952 Map of Connor Well

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Malmstrom and Connor Well anchor this section of Chaves County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the vital infrastructure of ranching and early petroleum exploration. This 1952 topographic study, compiled from aerial photography taken in 1947, reveals a terrain sparsely dotted with essential water sources like Windmill 3655 and several unnamed Tank features. The map illustrates the precarious nature of early industry in the desert, marking several sites as Oil Well (Aban'd) and Windmill (Aban'd). Near the southern boundary, Horse Camp Wells sits at the base of the rising ground, providing a localized center for activity in an otherwise open range. The layout of these wells and windmills highlights the distribution of resources required to sustain life and commerce in this arid environment before modern expansion.
