1963 Map of Thompson Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Anton Chico rangeland dominates this early 1960s survey of Guadalupe County, revealing a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management features essential for high-desert ranching. Named tanks and windmills are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the vital role of local families and ranchers in shaping the area's geography. Significant landmarks include the Thompson Ranch and distinctive water bodies such as Baker Lake and Eduardo Lake. The presence of the Agua de Los Juanes drainage and Laguna Seca further illustrates the hydrological patterns of the region. This era in New Mexico saw a mix of traditional ranching operations alongside modern infrastructure, evidenced by a large Pipeline and a Radio Facility perched on the higher elevations. The map serves as a detailed record of land use and family-named landmarks during a period of continued reliance on dispersed water sources like Molina Moulton Tank and Felix Dee Tank.
