1985 Map of Livingston Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Livingston Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape in Eddy County, serving as a prominent geographical divide above the surrounding flats. The map documents a sparsely populated but active resource area in the mid-1980s, where the natural terrain of the Maroon Cliffs meets industrial development. Evidence of local mining activity is clear near the northern edge of the ridge, marked by a significant deposit of Mine Tailings. Water management is critical in this arid environment, shown through a series of isolated reservoirs including Nova Tank, Hill Tank, and New Tank. The wide, seasonal drainage of Nash Draw cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the New Mexico desert floor during this era of survey.
