1951 Map of King Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Anchor D Ranch and King Camp anchor this mid-century survey of the New Mexico plains, where the open rangeland is marked by the infrastructure of livestock and energy. Topography by plane-table methods in 1951 captures a landscape defined by expansive relief and isolated water sources, including a prominent Windmill in the northwestern sector. The map documents early industrial traces across the desert floor, notably a long-distance Pipe Line that cuts diagonally through the southern sections. This document captures the transition of the Chaves County landscape during a period of expanding utility corridors and traditional ranching operations, providing a clear record of fence lines, trails, and the sparse but critical human improvements necessary for survival in this arid environment.
