1950 Map of Dexter East

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Pecos River valley defines the landscape east of Dexter, where agricultural development and water management dominated the mid-century economy. Irrigation infrastructure is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by a dense network of ditches and the Durand Reservoir (Abandoned) to the north. Social and commercial life centers on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line, which connects the primary settlements of Dexter and Greenfield. Local recreation and conservation efforts are highlighted by the presence of the Lake Van Rod & Gun Club adjacent to Lake Van, and the sprawling Dexter Federal Fish Hatchery. To the south, the Rio Felix joins the Pecos, while the eastern bluffs rise toward the Calumet Ranch, marking the transition from the river basin to the higher rangelands of Chaves County.
