1967 Map of Red Flats

About this map

The Sawtooth Mountains dominate the northeastern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, rising above the surrounding high plains and draws. This high-altitude terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which runs diagonally across the western half of the map, separating drainage patterns like Still Newton Draw and Pino Draw. The area’s ranching and livestock history is evident in the dense network of named water sources, such as Glasscock Tank, McWhorter Tank, and Bennett Tank, which sustained life in these arid uplands.
