1978 Map of Pedernal

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pedernal and the surrounding high plains of Torrance County are captured here during the late 1970s, defined largely by the infrastructure of the southwestern rail corridor. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad angles across the southern half of the quadrangle, serving as the primary anchor for local settlements. Near the tracks, researchers can locate Pedernal and the two distinct areas labeled Dunmoor, reflecting the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern of this semi-arid landscape. The terrain is marked by subtle topographic shifts and industrial utility, including a prominent Pipeline and a Radio Tower, which stand as landmarks in an area otherwise dominated by open range and section-line road networks. This survey illustrates the late-twentieth-century state of this rural transit corridor before modern developments altered the local character.
