1998 Map of Rabbit Ear Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Rabbit Ear Mountain and the high, flat expanse of Rabbit Ear Mesa dominate this landscape in Union County, where the high plains meet the transition to the volcanic fields of northeastern New Mexico. The area is part of the Kiowa National Grassland, a region defined by its history of drought and subsequent land reclamation. Settlement traces are sparse but significant for genealogical research, notably the Wanette Cem in the north and cattle-ranching infrastructure like Forty Acre Well and Eklund Well. Seasonal drainages including Seneca Creek and Goodin Canyon cut through the terrain, illustrating the critical nature of water management in this arid environment during the late 20th century. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a prominent Pipeline reflect the local economy's reliance on land resources and utility infrastructure.
