1971 Map of Wheatland

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wheatland serves as a central hub on this 1970s landscape, located where the high plains break into a dramatic series of canyon systems. This area marks the boundary between Quay Co and Curry Co, characterized by the transition from flat agricultural land to the intricate drainage networks of Tipton Canyon, Horseshoe Cave Canyon, and Deadman Canyon. The presence of the Wheatland Cem and various Gravel Pits reflects the long-standing local community and the utilization of the region's geological resources. To the north, the terrain drops toward Arroyo Saladito, while the southern reaches of the map show a grid of access roads and scattered water sources including several Wells. The placement of a Radio Tower on the high ground overlooking the canyons indicates the technological infrastructure integrated into this rural New Mexico setting during the early 1970s.
