1971 Map of Forrest

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Forrest sits at a remote junction on the high plains of Quay County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between flat tablelands and the winding drainage of Frio Draw. In this 1971 survey, the area reflects a deeply established agricultural and ranching community, evidenced by the presence of Beevers Cem and Plain Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of local heritage. The terrain is marked by several Gravel Pit operations, indicating the extraction of local resources to support the region's road networks. To the south, the land slopes toward Blanco Creek, illustrating the natural watercourses that have historically dictated the placement of settlements and cattle operations in this arid environment. A single Well and various windmills scattered across the quadrangle highlight the essential role of groundwater in sustaining life on these expansive New Mexico plains.
