1971 Map of Grady SW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Caprock dominates the northwest corner of this High Plains landscape, where the dramatic elevation change reveals the headwaters of Puerto Creek. This 1971 survey captures a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region along the border of Quay and Curry counties. The small settlement of Watts serves as a primary local landmark, while the surrounding land is marked by the infrastructure of the era, including a major pipeline and isolated Landing Strips. Evidence of local industry and water management is scattered throughout the grid, from several Gravel Pit sites to a Water Tank and various wells that sustain life in this arid environment. A lone Cem stands as a quiet record of early residents who settled this transition zone between the plateau and the canyon floor.
