1973 Map of Pennington

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pennington serves as the primary focal point in this high plains landscape of Union County, recorded during a 1973 field check. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems and watering holes essential for ranching, including the prominent Tramperos Canyon and Tramperos Creek in the south, and Middle Trabajo Creek to the north. Water sources are meticulously mapped, ranging from Foundation Spring to the distinctively named Shearing Shed Lake and Poison Springs. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific points of interest such as the Pasamonte Ranch and the Dempsey Cem, along with an isolated Grave site further north. This topographic study reveals the sparse but strategic settlement pattern of Northeastern New Mexico, where life revolved around the intermittent water of the creeks and the established ranching hubs.
