1962 Map of Lisbon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Butterfield Trail tracks across the arid New Mexico landscape, marking a historical corridor for mail and passenger transport long before modern infrastructure arrived. This 1962 survey of the high desert focuses on the transportation and utility network northwest of the Southern Pacific line. The small rail-side settlement of Lisbon and the nearby Ulmoris station anchor the map, surrounded by isolated infrastructure like the Lordsburg Pumping Sta and several pipelines. Water sources are scarce, appearing as seasonal drainages such as Burro Cienaga, Engineer Canyon, and Walker Canyon. The presence of the Mesquite Windmill and North Lisbon Windmill highlights the vital role of groundwater for ranching in this territory. Genealogists and historians can also trace the Old Railroad Grade in the southwest corner, alongside the Hidalgo and Grant county line.
