1949 Map of Faywood Station

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks slice diagonally through this high-desert corridor, connecting the remote landscape to the broader southwestern rail network. At the southern edge of this 1949 survey sits Faywood Station, a critical point along the line near the Grant Co Luna Co boundary. The arid terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, including the broad Whitewater Creek, Lampbright Draw, and the winding San Vicente Arroyo. A localized pocket of green marks the site of Warm Springs, a rare water source in a region where numerous scattered Windmill sites indicate the essential infrastructure required for ranching and settlement. This map documents a functional landscape where early transportation and water access dictated the placement of outposts in the New Mexico desert.
