1973 Map of Tripod Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Tripod Mountain and the surrounding high plains of Union County define this high-altitude landscape as it was documented in the early 1970s. The terrain is characterized by prominent geological features such as Chavez Mountain and the elongated ridge known as The Hogback. This area of New Mexico's northeast corner shows a sparse ranching or resource-focused footprint, with land divisions marked by township and range lines across the semi-arid basins of Gallegos Creek and Cedar Creek. Evidence of local industry or road construction is noted by the presence of several Gravel Pit locations near the main thoroughfares. The map serves as a detailed record of the drainage patterns and landforms that have historically shaped settlement and movement through this part of the state.
