1955 Map of Dayton

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Rio Peñasco meanders through this arid landscape of the Pecos Valley, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for local transport. This mid-century survey captures the settlement of Dayton and the nearby 100 Ranch, illustrating a ranching and transportation-based economy supported by scattered Windmill installations and industrial Gravel Pits. Water management is a visible priority, evidenced by the presence of a Gaging Station and the drainage patterns of Fourmile Draw and North Seven Rivers. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional grid and early infrastructure that shaped Eddy County’s development before significant urban expansion altered the rural character of the Pecos River basin.
