1968 Map of Quemado Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts across the northern reaches of this high-plains landscape, serving as the primary corridor through the northeastern corner of New Mexico during the late 1960s. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevations like Mesa Del Puerta and the Quemado Hills, where the land drops away into seasonal drainage systems including Blanca Creek and Charco Creek. A solitary Radio Tower and a Borrow Pit near the tracks suggest the light footprint of industrial infrastructure in an otherwise open range. The presence of a Spring and numerous fence lines point to the region's ranching activity, with the survey capturing the physical boundaries of land use between Palomas Mesa and the surrounding flats.
