1981 Map of Progresso NE

About this map

Cibola National Forest defines the southwestern reaches of this Torrance County landscape, where the terrain shifts from the high plains into the more complex topography of Bianco Canyon. The survey, based on 1973 aerial photography, reveals a sparse New Mexico landscape primarily organized by section lines and occasional water infrastructure. Several scattered wells are the primary markers of human utility across the northern half of the quadrangle, while a Roadside Park along the primary roadway provides a rare developed landmark. Near the forest boundary, the Beedle Windmill stands as a specific named waypoint, reflecting the critical role of groundwater management for ranching or forestry in this arid environment during the early 1980s.
