1986 Map of Moriarty North

About this map

The high plains of Central New Mexico are captured in the mid-1980s, centered on the growing settlement of Moriarty. The landscape is defined by the intersection of modern infrastructure and the remnants of earlier eras, most notably the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the southwestern quadrant. This era's development is evident in the cluster of features at the southern edge, including a Trailer Park, Substation, and Sewage Disposal Ponds, indicating the town's expansion. Natural drainage patterns across this arid basin are marked by the presence of Bachelor Draw and Salt Draw, which snake through the terrain toward the southern hub. Further north, the settlement of Otto sits along a grid of section lines and wells, while a small Landing Strip provides air access to this expansive ranching and agricultural region. Numerous Well markers and pipelines underscore the area's reliance on groundwater management during this period of New Mexico's history.
