1992 Map of Faywood Station

About this map

Faywood Station sits at the southern edge of this landscape, marking a point of transition in the high desert terrain near the border of Grant and Luna counties. The map reveals a land defined by ephemeral water management and mining-related infrastructure, most notably the large Tailings Pond and associated Aqueduct in the northern reaches. These features, along with a Pumping Station and multiple Water Tanks, suggest a landscape heavily modified for resource extraction and industrial processing. Natural drainage patterns like the Whitewater Creek and the wide San Vicente Arroyo cut through the arid flats, while the Hogback provides a distinct topographical break in the southwestern corner. The network of unimproved roads and survey marks underscores the utilitarian nature of the area in the early 1990s.
