1973 Map of Grenville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail (Cimarron Cutoff) cuts through the southern reaches of this Union County landscape, marking a vital historical corridor for trade and migration across New Mexico. This 1970s survey captures the intersection of storied overland paths and modern industrial infrastructure in an area defined by wide-open high-plains topography. Along the northern edge, the Colorado and Southern railroad tracks run parallel to the terrain's contours, tracing a route through the drainage of Cherry Creek as it winds through the canyon. Local economic activity is evidenced by a scattered Gravel Pit, while the section lines and fence demarcations reveal the structured organization of ranching and land use in this part of the state during the late twentieth century.
