About this map

Garrison anchors this portion of Roosevelt County, situated along a landscape defined by agricultural infrastructure and sparse high-plains settlements. The 1972 topography reveals a region heavily reliant on groundwater, evidenced by the numerous instances of Well labels scattered across the sections. The eastern edge of the map features the Causey Corporate Boundary, providing a clear spatial record of the village's limits during the early 1970s.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Causey Cem near the town's edge a critical landmark for tracing area families. The presence of a Gravel Pit and Grave Pit suggests localized industrial activity, likely for road maintenance or construction. The map's grid, marked by township and range lines like R. 35 E. R. 36 E. and T. 5 S. T. 6 S., illustrates the systematic organization of this New Mexico ranching and farming country.
