1962 Map of Panther Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Dr Robert Goddard Original Rocket Tower Site anchors this Chaves County landscape, marking a pivotal location in early aerospace history south of Middle Berrendo Creek. The map documents a working ranching and resource environment in the early 1960s, defined by its water infrastructure and scattered industrial points. Salt Creek Ch and the neighboring Salt Creek characterize the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the terrain rises toward the namesake Panther Hill. The reliance on groundwater is evident through numerous named water sources including Butler Windmill, Panther Windmill, and the Toltec Recorder Well. Along the eastern edge, infrastructure such as a Compressor Station and various Gravel Pits illustrate the localized intersection of energy and material extraction in this part of New Mexico.
