1978 Map of Waller Ranch

About this map

Waller Ranch sits as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape of central New Mexico, surveyed in the mid-1970s. The terrain is defined by undulating contours and the prominent Red Hill to the south, reflecting the open grazing country of Torrance County. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several Wells indicates the limited but essential industrial and water infrastructure supporting local land use. A network of Pipelines and unimproved roads crisscrosses the sections, showing how utilities and travel routes adapted to the natural topography of the high plains before further modern development. This sheet offers a look at a sparsely settled region where family holdings and resource extraction formed the backbone of the local economy.
