1996 Map of Little Black Mountain

About this map

Black Mountain and Little Black Mtn dominate this arid landscape in southern New Mexico, where volcanic features and industrial infrastructure intersect. The terrain is marked by distinct geological formations like Lava No 2, while human presence is defined by the Pipeline corridor and the Afton Pumping Sta. This 1996 update reveals the isolated ranching and utility operations typical of the region, including the Nunn Ranch and various Prospects indicating mineral exploration. The presence of North Well underscores the critical importance of water management in this desert environment, providing a detailed look at how transportation and energy networks were etched into the Doña Ana County landscape at the end of the century.
