1973 Map of Gammil Well NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Roosevelt County quadrangle, where the sharp escarpments of the Melrose Range meet the high plains. This 1970s survey captures a transition in land use, showing the Military Reservation Boundary cutting across the northern sections of the map. Ranching infrastructure is well-established here, with family-named operations like the Price-Portales Ranch and Price West Camp serving as focal points for local history. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks such as Negrohead Butte and the drainage of Cañada del Tule. For those looking for family roots, the Benson Cem is a notable genealogical landmark. Transportation is limited to a network of a Jeep Trail and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the vast, low-density character of this New Mexico cattle country during the late twentieth century.
