1973 Map of House SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Alamosa Creek carves a deep, winding path through the southern half of this landscape, creating a sharp contrast between the broken canyon terrain and the flat, high plains to the north. Surveyed in the early 1970s, this area spans the administrative border of Quay and Roosevelt counties. The map captures a high-desert environment defined by its hydrological reliance on subterranean water, indicated by various Wells and pumping points scattered across the northern sections. These water sources provided the necessary lifeblood for ranching operations in a region where surface water is seasonal and scarce. The absence of established towns or villages on this sheet highlights the isolated, agricultural nature of the New Mexico eastern plains during this period, where land was measured by sections and accessible water rights rather than urban development.
