1973 Map of Tolar SE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Melrose Range dominates this portion of Roosevelt County, where the high plains terrain meets specialized military infrastructure. Mapping conducted in the early 1970s reveals a landscape characterized by isolation and utility, defined largely by the Military Reservation Boundary and the prominent escarpment of The Mesa. The distribution of water sources is critical in this arid environment, marked by scattered Wells, Fowler Well, and the West Jog Windmills. Evidence of aerial surveillance or training is visible through multiple Observation Tower sites located within the range. Along the southern portion of the map, Chapman Draw carves a natural drainage path across the high ground. The presence of a Drill Hole and various fences indicates ongoing land use and resource exploration on these plains during the post-war era.
