About this map

Large basins and distinct Depression features define this corner of Torrance County in the late 1970s. The landscape is primarily a series of wide, shallow natural catchments, with the topography carefully tracked by the Geological Survey. Human infrastructure is sparse here, limited to a single Pipeline that cuts across the northern terrain and an established network of fences. The map documents the boundary between Township 5 North and Township 4 North, illustrating how the open range was partitioned for grazing or mineral rights while remaining largely undeveloped. This 1978 edition provides a look at the arid New Mexico interior just after field checks were completed in 1975, showing the region before modern land use changes.
