1978 Map of Long Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut a diagonal path across this high desert landscape, providing a vital transportation artery through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by the broad drainage of Long Draw, which shapes the central topography with its gradual descent toward the southeast. In the northeastern corner, the distinctive feature of Sotano Blanco rises as a landmark for those navigating the Guadalupe County terrain. The survey captures a moment in the late 1970s when the land remained largely open, marked primarily by the geometry of range lines like R 17 E and R 18 E and established transit routes, reflecting the enduring cattle-ranching and rail-dependent character of this New Mexico region.
