1972 Map of Rabbit Ear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Rabbit Ear Mountain serves as the primary landmark of this high plains landscape, rising above the expansive Rabbit Ear Mesa in the northeastern corner of New Mexico. The area's settlement pattern is defined by rural community nodes like Wanette, where the local history is anchored by the Wanette Cem. These small ranching and farming hubs are linked by a network of drainage systems, most notably Seneca Creek and Alamos Creek, which carve distinct paths through the mesa country. Evidence of earlier habitation and land use is visible in the scattered markers for Eklund and the southern Apache Valley. The map also captures the essential water infrastructure of the era, noting numerous wells and springs critical for survival in the arid high desert, alongside a Gravel Pit that points to local extraction and road-building efforts.
