1970 Map of Nose Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nose Rock serves as a prominent natural landmark in this high-desert landscape of McKinley County, as surveyed in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage systems of Kin Klizhin Wash and Kim-me-ni-oli Wash, which cut through the arid plains. Evidence of mid-century land management and resource exploration is scattered across the map, from the systematic naming of watering points like Windmill No 5 and Windmill No 6 to the presence of a Well and a dedicated Spillway. These features, along with several marked Drill Holes, reflect the intersection of traditional grazing practices and modern industrial prospecting in northwestern New Mexico. The lack of concentrated settlements underscores the vast, open character of this region during the 1970 publication era.
