1951 Map of King Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

King Camp and the Anchor D Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Chaves County, illustrating the sparse but vital ranching infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The topography is defined by subtle elevation changes across the Chaves County terrain, where water resources are marked simply by a Windmill to support livestock in an arid environment. A prominent Pipe Line cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle, signaling the industrial overlay of energy transport across the rural Southwest. This 1951 survey, photorevised in the mid-1970s, captures a transition in the ranching country of eastern New Mexico, where traditional land use met the expansion of utility corridors.
