1983 Map of Plata

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Plata sits as a lonely hub within the arid terrain of Presidio County, defined by the winding course of Alamito Creek and the steel path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. This 1983 survey reflects a landscape of ranching and remote outposts, where life is dictated by the scarce water sources that dot the canyons and flats. Named springs like Jack Brown Spring, White Springs, and the Sauceda Spring reveal the critical infrastructure for livestock in the high desert.
