1973 Map of Minnie Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Miera Ch Cem and the small settlement of Miera serve as primary historical landmarks in this corner of Northeast New Mexico, situated near the jurisdictional line of Union Co and Harding Co. The landscape is defined by its intermittent watercourses and high plains topography, where drainage systems like Tramperos Creek, Salado Creek, and Del Muerto Creek carve through the terrain. Evidence of rural life and livestock management appears through features such as Jeffrey, Corral, and a solitary Tank, indicating the area's primary focus on ranching. The most prominent natural landmark, Minnie Butte, rises above the surrounding flats, anchoring a map that documents the sparse but persistent human footprint in this part of the high desert during the early 1970s.
