1985 Map of Loving
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The settlement of Loving anchors this mid-1980s landscape, positioned near the intricate water management systems of the Chihuahuan Desert. The Pecos River carves a winding path through the center of the sheet, defining local topography with prominent features like Herradura Bend, Culebra Bluff, and Gyp Bend. This era shows a complex network of irrigation and industry, including the Harroun Canal, Southern Canal, and the Supply Ditch, which were vital for agricultural survival in Eddy County.
