1973 Map of Mc Alister

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

McAlister sits on the high plains of Quay County, New Mexico, serving as a focal point for this agrarian landscape in the early 1970s. The settlement pattern is defined by scattered windmills and ranch infrastructure, with McAlister Cem located south of the main junction. The topography is marked by the drainage of Alamosa Creek, which cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle, creating a series of draws and depressions. Small catchment areas like Caballo Lake and Burk Lake dot the terrain, reflecting the essential role of water management in this arid region. To the west, the settlement of Alamosa anchors the valley floor along the creek. Land use is further evidenced by several Gravel Pits, indicating local resource extraction used for road building and infrastructure throughout the township and range grid.
