About this map

Fairview Well serves as the namesake for this high-desert landscape in central New Mexico, where the necessity of water in an arid environment dictates the geography of human activity. The area is defined by a network of catchments and wells, including Keene Tank, Antelope Tank, and North Well, which likely supported ranching operations across the Pedro Armendaris No 33 land grant. A Pipeline cuts through the western section of the terrain, while the eastern edge is marked by the New Mexico Principal Meridian, a critical baseline for surveying and land ownership in the state. Beyond the ranching infrastructure, a lone Gravel Pit suggests localized industrial extraction, providing a clear picture of the land-use patterns in Sierra County during the late twentieth century.
