2010 Map of Hassell

About this map

Gerhardt Valley and the prominent Lone Mesa define the ranching landscape of Quay County in this 2010 survey. The settlement of Hassell serves as a central point in a grid of rural routes, including Quay Road 31 and Quay Road BH. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies several isolated burial grounds such as Gerhardt Cemetery, Hassell Cemetery, House Cemetery, and Lone Mesa Cemetery. The drainage patterns of Truchas Creek and Alamosa Creek cut through the terrain, illustrating the water sources essential for local operations like Parmer Ranch, Urton Ranch, and Ballew Ranch. Smaller named locales including Upton, Lewis, Shiply, and Bomar are also documented, providing a precise record of late 20th-century land use and habitation in this part of eastern New Mexico.
