1973 Map of Field SW

About this map

Alamosa Creek meanders through the arid landscape of eastern New Mexico, cutting a distinct path across a region where three counties converge. This 1970s survey captures the intersection of Quay, Roosevelt, and Curry counties, a geographic tri-point marked by sparse infrastructure and wide-open rangeland. Human presence is indicated by isolated agricultural markers such as a Silo and several Well sites, which were vital for sustaining livestock and settlement in this high-plains environment. In the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, Brooks Lake provides a rare concentrated water source amidst the topographic contours. The map reflects a period of established ranching boundaries, where fine red dashed lines delineate selected fence lines across the open territory.
