1972 Map of Gran Quivira

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Gran Quivira National Monument anchors this 1970s survey of the high desert along the Torrance Co Socorro Co border. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic uplift of the Mesa de los Jumanos, which drops away into Liberty Valley and the expansive Gooch Flats. The preservation of ancient Ruins at the monument provides a focal point for the region, while the surrounding terrain is marked by isolated rural infrastructure like Center Point School. Local ranching and water management are evident through named catchments and wells such as Haygood Tank, Atkinson Well, and Goar Well. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the intersection of modern utility with the rugged geography of Beatty Hill.
