1996 Map of Upham

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Aleman and Upham anchor this high-desert landscape in northern Sierra County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Yoast Draw, Barbee Draw, and Aleman Draw dictate the movement across this arid territory. The mapping of artificial water sources, including Rabbit Tank, Miller Tank, and Highline Tank, highlights the essential infrastructure required for ranching and survival in this environment during the late 20th century. A prominent Radio Tower stands near Yoast Draw, serving as a modern landmark amidst the natural features of South Fork Putman Draw and Avendijo Draw. This provisional survey provides a precise record of the road networks and water management systems that supported the small settlements and land use in this part of New Mexico prior to the turn of the millennium.
