1972 Map of Rardin Hill

About this map

Rardin Hill and the high flats of Rabbit Ear Mesa define this tri-state corner where New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas converge. Mapped in the early 1970s, the landscape is characterized by a sparse ranching economy dependent on subterranean water, evidenced by a network of family-named landmarks such as the Barton Windmill, Mock Windmill, and Dorizzi Windmill. This cattle country is bisected by Seneca Creek and the Apache Valley Draw, which provide the primary drainage for the arid plains.
