1978 Map of Picacho Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Picacho Mountain and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this West Mesa landscape during the late twentieth century. To the south, public and recreational development is evident at the State Fairground and the Sertoma International Raceway, marking a transition from the arid open range toward more organized civic use. The New Mexico Principal Meridian cuts through the eastern portion of the map, providing a foundational surveying line for the Mesilla Civil Colony Tract No 2. Significant infrastructure projects such as the Las Cruces International Airport and its associated Landing Strip illustrate the area's mid-century modernization. Water management is a visible priority in this dry environment, indicated by features like Box Canyon Dam, the Hawkins East Tank, and various Sewage Disposal Ponds near the raceway.
