1981 Map of Luera Mountains West

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Luera Peak and the high ridges of the Luera Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Catron County. The topography is defined by the sharp transition between the mountain heights and the descending drainage systems of Cañon Obscuro and Alamo Canyon. This 1981 edition, based on earlier 1970s field work, documents a remote ranching environment where life and industry revolve entirely around scarce water sources. Named landmarks like the Eloysia Windmill, Antelope Well, and Partnership Well indicate the scattered infrastructure necessary for survival and livestock management in the New Mexico interior. The distribution of these features, alongside the Above Hay Pasture Tank and Hay Pasture Windmill, provides a clear view of how land was partitioned and utilized for grazing at the end of the twentieth century.
