1948 Map of Malpais Well

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Pedro Armendaris Grant No 33 dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the vast private landholdings of southern New Mexico before modern development. The terrain is defined by the sharp contrast between the northern Lava Bed and the network of water resources essential for high-desert ranching. Remote outposts like Casa Grande Ranch, Fuller Ranch, and Graham Ranch are the primary signs of habitation, connected by primitive tracks and centered around isolated water sources such as Malpais Well and Chavez Well.
