1973 Map of House SE

About this map

Alamosa Creek carves a deep, winding path through the high plains of Eastern New Mexico, defining much of the drainage pattern in this rural landscape. The topography transitions from the flat, open mesa tops in the north to a complex network of canyons and ravines as the terrain drops toward the creek bed. This 1973 survey, updated in the late 1980s, captures the boundary line of Quay Co Roosevelt Co as it cuts across the northern range. The map documents several isolated water sources, including scattered Wells and a lone Well, which are critical infrastructure in this arid environment. A small industrial or mineral site identified only as Wm appears in the eastern reaches, suggesting the small-scale ranching or mining activity that has historically supported this corner of the state.
