1963 Map of Laguna Gatuna

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Querecho Plains and the prominent Mescalero (The Caprock) Ridge dominate this landscape on the border of Eddy and Lea Counties. The map reveals an intensive mid-century petroleum economy, with large operations such as the North Lynch Oil Field, South Corbin Oil Field, and Pearl Oil Field spread across the arid terrain. These industrial zones are interspersed with a network of cattle operations, including the Smith Ranch, Bingham Ranch, and Allred Ranch, illustrating the cohabitation of ranching and mineral extraction.
