1972 Map of Guy

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Carrizozo Creek and Corrumpa Creek carve through this high plains landscape of Union County, New Mexico, during the early 1970s. The settlement of Guy sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by a network of drainage basins and named topographic features that speak to the ranching history of the region. Evidence of early Spanish-American settlement is preserved in the location of the Rivera Cem and Padilla Cem, providing vital data points for genealogists tracking family roots in this corner of the state. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Hardesty Canyon and Dickerson Canyon, while vital water sources such as Fischer Spring and Carpenter Springs are clearly marked. Strategic passages through the high ground, notably Miller Gap, highlight how the natural geography dictated travel and homesteading in the area.
