1981 Map of Gacho Hill NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Vicente Ranch and Del Curto Ranch anchor this landscape in western Guadalupe County during the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by the sweeping course of Marino Draw, which cuts through the high desert topography toward the prominent rise of Gacho Hill. This map captures a moment of sparse high-plains settlement where survival depended on localized infrastructure, indicated by numerous scattered Well and Tank sites across the ranch lands. A prominent Pipeline traverses the southern sections, marking a modern industrial intrusion into the traditional grazing territory. The cartography reflects the transition from classic ranching life to energy transportation, while preserving the family-named landholdings essential for genealogical research in this part of New Mexico.
