1965 Map of West Lime Hills

About this map

Mahoney Mines and scattered mineral prospects anchor the eastern slopes of the Hermanas Mountains in this mid-1960s survey of the high desert of Luna County. The landscape is defined by its critical water infrastructure, where isolated outposts like Suckerville and White House Ranch depend on a network of family-named water sources, including the Joy Windmill and Swope Windmill. The drainage patterns of Bisbee Draw and Tomerlin Draw dictate the movement across this arid terrain, reflecting a ranching and mining economy that relied on seasonal flows and deep-well tanks.
