1973 Map of Vest Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Vest Camp sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Chaves County, where survival and industry are dictated by water and mineral extraction. This 1973 field survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a network of resource-related infrastructure including the North Windmill and Brooks Tank, which provided essential water points in a desert environment. The presence of numerous Drill Holes and a Gravel Pit scattered across the terrain indicates active exploration and industrial activity during this period. Navigation through the area relied heavily on a sparse network of Jeep Trails, underscoring the functional, work-oriented character of the region. This map serves as a clear record of land use and resource management in eastern New Mexico before later modern developments altered the local topography.
