1978 Map of Pedernal Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pedernal Mountain rises as the central geographic landmark of this Torrance County landscape, which was meticulously documented in the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns and subterranean resources, evidenced by the prominent industrial Pipeline cutting through the western and southern reaches of the quadrangle. Water sources are scarce in this arid region, with the intermittent Mc Gillivray Draw and Pintada Draw serving as the primary natural conduits for runoff. Near the base of the mountain, a lone Spring indicates a vital point of interest in an otherwise dry and high-altitude environment. This survey captures a moment of modern utility infrastructure superimposed over an ancient volcanic landform, showing the sparse but critical network of water and energy that sustains this part of the high desert.
