1965 Map of Midway Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Midway Butte rises above the high desert floor of southern Luna County in this mid-1960s topographic study. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral passage of Seventysix Draw, which winds through a terrain marked by scattered water sources and survey markers. A notable human corridor is the Hermanas Grade, a straight-line route cutting across the western portion of the map, suggesting the region's historic reliance on established ranching and transit paths. Near the center of the sheet, the Deming Base benchmark anchor indicates the area's importance for regional surveying and geodetic control. The presence of numerous Wells and several Gravel Pits underscores a rural economy dependent on subterranean water and local mineral extraction in an otherwise arid environment.
