1985 Map of Portair

About this map

Cannon Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this 1980s New Mexico survey, its extensive facility layout including an Athletic Field and a designated Control Tower. The surrounding terrain reflects the agricultural and military character of Curry County, with smaller settlements like Portair and Gallaher situated along the rail corridor. Further north, the settlement of Ranchvale sits amid a grid of rural roads and scattered structures. The map provides a precise look at the infrastructure supporting the base during the late Cold War era, including a nearby Trailer Park and a network of unimproved roads that navigate the high plains topography.
