1965 Map of La Junta SW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a straight diagonal through this high plains landscape southwest of La Junta. This transit corridor follows a historic path near a noted Historical Monument and an old Trail, marking the intersection of indigenous routes, pioneer travel, and industrial expansion. The terrain is defined by a series of north-flowing drainages including Timpas Creek, Crooked Arroyo, and Benton Arroyo, which create a complex system of ridges and depressions. This 1965 field survey captures the rural infrastructure of Otero County, showing a network of unimproved roads and a Pipeline traversing the land alongside small industrial markers like a Drill Hole. The convergence of the West Branch and East Branch further south illustrates the hydrological patterns that dictated early land use in this arid region.
