1985 Map of Red Bluff

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Pecos River snakes through this 1985 survey of the borderlands between New Mexico and Texas, a region defined by water management and transit. The map documents the engineering of the era, showcasing an Aqueduct, Siphon, and Flume alongside the Delaware River. These features illustrate how the arid landscape was adapted for agricultural or industrial use. To the east, the Rustler Hills and the Breaks create a textured backdrop to the river valley, while the northern tip of the Red Bluff Reservoir sits near the state line. Historic transit points like Rock House Crossing and localized landmarks such as East Apple Tank provide specific points of reference for those tracking the development of Eddy County. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Radio Tower marks the sparse industrial footprint in this corner of the Chihuahuan Desert.
