1968 Map of Hassell

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Gerhardt Valley defines this section of the High Plains, where the drainage of Truchas Creek meets the dramatic escarpment of Lone Mesa. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the landscape is characterized by a sparse ranching economy, with family-named operations like Urton Ranch, Parmer Ranch, and Ballew Ranch scattered across the open range. The small settlement of Hassell sits on the plateau, serving as a central point for this rural community. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several small burial grounds, including the Lone Mesa Cem, Gerhardt Cem, and House Cem. The terrain is shaped by the winding path of Alamosa Creek in the north, showing the relationship between water sources and early New Mexico land use in Quay County.
