1964 Map of Grandmother Mountain East

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Grandmother Mountain and Little Grandmother Mountain dominate the arid New Mexico landscape in this mid-century survey of eastern Luna County. This area represents a classic desert ranching environment, where survival and movement are dictated by water sources and natural topography. The drainage of Cow Springs Draw provides a central axis for the map, around which several ranching improvements are clustered. Family-named sites like Davis Ranch and Benedict Ranch highlight the importance of private landholdings, while a series of remote water stations including Stevens Windmill, New Windmill, and Gage Windmill demonstrate the infrastructure required for livestock management in the high desert. Modern industrial progress is visible in the form of a long Pipeline and a Radio Tower, contrasting with traditional features like the Clabber Top Hill and a localized Gravel Pit.
