1990 Map of Lobo Hill

About this map

Lobo Hill rises as a prominent landmark above the drainage patterns of Torrance County, anchoring a landscape defined by water management and resource extraction in the late twentieth century. This arid New Mexico terrain is crisscrossed by a significant infrastructure network, including an extensive Pipeline and a centrally located Pumping Sta, reflecting the importance of liquid transport in the high plains. The map traces the natural flow of the Cañada de la Puerta, Salt Draw, and Big Draw, which carve through the topography and dictate the placement of ranching or industrial outposts. Local industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Borrow Pits and a Borrow Pit near the northern boundary. Genealogists and local historians can use this survey to pinpoint specific water sources like Cottonwood Well, which often served as vital hubs for homesteading and livestock in this environment.
