1986 Map of King Draw

About this map

The high desert settlement of Hyer anchors this mid-1980s landscape in Santa Fe County, where traditional land divisions meet modern infrastructure. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of King Draw and Big Draw, which channel seasonal water across the high plains. A clear industrial presence is visible through the Gravel Pit located in the southeastern quadrant, alongside a remote Landing Strip that suggests the logistical needs of this arid ranching and utility corridor. The map highlights the intersection of the T12N and T11N township lines and the passage of a significant Trans Line utility route. This provisional edition preserves the specific configuration of rural dwellings and access trails before subsequent growth in the region, offering a precise look at the 1980s New Mexico backcountry.
