1982 Map of Hatch
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Caballo Lake Reservoir and the Rio Grande define the eastern corridor of this southwestern New Mexico landscape, where the Rincon Valley serves as a vital agricultural and transit artery. The settlement of Hatch sits at a critical junction near Rodey and Placitas, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks follow the river's path through the desert floor. Moving west, the terrain rises sharply into the Mimbres Mountains and the Black Range, anchored by the vast acreage of the Gila National Forest. This 1982 compilation by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights a region of high-desert transitions, from the mining history around Hillsboro and Kingston to the unique geological formations at City of Rocks State Park. The map also captures the remote outposts of Lake Valley and Faywood Hot Springs, illustrating the scattered nature of rural habitation in the shadow of the Good Sight Mountains.
