1985 Map of Cutter

About this map

Cutter stands as a primary point of human settlement within this arid landscape of the high desert, positioned near the Old RR Grade and the Jornada Lakes. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Jornada Draw, Hackberry Draw, and Aleman Draw, which underscore the region's hydraulic reliance. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Pedro Armendaris No 33 land grant, reflecting the legacy of large-scale landholdings in this part of New Mexico. Small-scale infrastructure like No 7 Tank and a Gravel Pit indicate the local industrial and ranching activity of the mid-1980s. Local history is further marked by a Cem and Black Hill, providing specific points of interest for genealogical and topographical research in Sierra County.
