1985 Map of St Vrain

About this map

St Vrain and Grier serve as the primary landmarks in this 1980s snapshot of the High Plains in Curry County. The landscape is defined by a sparse settlement pattern typical of the eastern New Mexico ranching and farming corridor, where wide-open spaces are punctuated by numerous Well sites and isolated homesteads. A central transportation artery carries travelers past a local Roadside Park near the western edge of the quadrangle. Significant for its rural aviation infrastructure, a designated Landing Strip sits just south of the main road, reflecting the necessity of aerial access in this expansive territory. This provisional survey captures the transition of the region before modern development, preserving the locations of critical water sources and transportation stops that supported the local community during the mid-1980s.
