1965 Map of North PeAk

About this map

The Hermanas Mountains dominate this southwestern landscape, rising sharply above the desert floor with prominent heights like North Peak, Middle Peak, and South Peak. This mid-century survey records a sparsely populated ranching and mining environment in Luna County, characterized by the remote Inmon Ranch and San Juan Ranch. Prospectors and historians will find evidence of the area's mineral interests at the Lindy Ann Mine and a location marked simply as Chloride. The infrastructure of the era is defined by the vital network of water sources, including East Windmill, High Windmill, and Sturley Windmill, which sustained livestock across the arid stretches of the Greasewood Hills. Traceable jeep trails snake through Burns Draw and Canyon, connecting isolated points like Lonesome Cabin to the broader desert floor of Waterloo and Seventysix.
