1982 Map of Playas Lake North
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Industrial expansion in the New Mexico desert is evident in the planned settlement of Playas, a company town established to support regional mining interests. This 1982 provisional survey shows a highly structured community layout, complete with a Trailer Park, a dedicated Landing Strip, and even a Hellport. The proximity of the Phelps Dodge Industrial R.R. and an Old Railroad Grade underscores the area's importance to the mineral transport network of the late twentieth century.
