1963 Map of Maljamar

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Mescalero (The Caprock) Ridge bisects this landscape, marking a dramatic geological transition between the high plains and the lower desert basins of Southeast New Mexico. During the early 1960s, the region's economy was defined by its dual identity as ranch land and a growing oil patch. Evidence of this is seen in the proximity of established holdings like Bond Ranch and Anderson Ranch to the industrial infrastructure of the Maljamar and Loco Hills areas. The map details an extensive network of pipelines and pumping stations serving the oil fields, interspersed with natural landmarks such as North Square Lake and the Cedar Lake Breaks. On the Querecho Plains, the small settlement of Youngs and the worker-oriented Booker Camp reflect the human footprint within this sparse, resource-driven environment.
