1981 Map of Cub Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Malpais lava flows dominate the northwestern corner of this Lincoln County survey, providing a sharp contrast to the high elevations of Cub Mountain and Chaves Mountain to the southeast. The landscape is defined by its water-scarcity infrastructure, with named points like Byron Well, Ham Windmill, and Goddard Windmill marking vital outposts for survival in the arid terrain. Transportation and industry are evidenced by the Southern Pacific railroad line and an Old RR Grade, which cross the drainage patterns of Willow Chaves Draw and Polly Draw. Small-scale extractive activity is visible near Little Cub, where several Mines are noted along the slopes. This 1981 edition captures the complex interplay of volcanic geology and ranching history, where family-named landmarks like Jakes Hill and Steel Hill serve as navigational anchors amidst the limestone and basalt.
