1966 Map of Fire Rock Well

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Escavada Wash and Gallo Wash define the drainage patterns across this high desert landscape, which sits at the intersection of San Juan, Sandoval, and McKinley Counties. The mid-1960s survey records a region focused on resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the presence of a Pipeline and scattered markers like a Drill Hole and a Prospect. Human infrastructure is sparse and functional, centered on water sources such as Marve Well, Fire Rock Well, and the Oil Well Dam. This network of wells and a Dike Pit Tank provided essential support for ranching or industry in an arid environment. Movement through the terrain is largely restricted to a Jeep Trail, illustrating the remote nature of the area during this era of New Mexico history.
