1964 Map of Montoya

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico intersect with the corridor of Route 66 and the Interstate 40 project on this mid-1960s survey. At its center is Montoya, a settlement defined by the confluence of the Southern Pacific and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. This intersection made it a critical stop for steam-era water and logistics, as evidenced by the local Juana de Darca Ch and nearby Cem. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic escarpment of Palomas Mesa and prominent landmarks like Captivas Peak, which tower over the drainage systems of Arroyo de las Palomas and Bull Canyon. Numerous named windmills, such as Headquarters Windmill and Aires Windmill, illustrate the pastoral economy's reliance on groundwater across this arid terrain near the Guadalupe and Quay county line.
