1973 Map of Gammil Well NE

About this map

Melrose Bombing Range occupies a significant portion of the northern landscape in this 1970s survey, defined by its clear Military Reservation Boundary. The terrain is characterized by the dramatic escarpment of The Mesa and the prominent Negrohead Butte, which overlook the winding path of Cañada del Tule. Ranching and aviation operations are evident through features like the Price-Portales Ranch, Price West Camp, and a remote Landing Strip. For those researching local family history, the Benson Cem stands as a notable landmark in the central valley. The map also records several scattered Wells and a network of Jeep Trails that provided access through this arid environment before modern development and revisions were documented in the late 1980s.
