1972 Map of X-7 Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The boundary between Luna County and Doña Ana County bisects this ranching landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s. This arid stretch of New Mexico is defined by the isolated operations of the X-7 Ranch, which includes a dedicated Landing Strip, signaling the scale and logistical needs of high-desert livestock management in this era. The topography is marked by volcanic features like Malpais Ridge and the ephemeral San Luis Lake, while man-made water sources such as the San Pedro Windmill and Sweetwater Windmill provided the essential infrastructure for survival in a region with few natural springs. The map documents a sparse but deliberate network of unimproved roads and fence lines that connect these remote outposts.
