1971 Map of Abbott Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Abbott Lake sits at the center of this high plains landscape on the border of Colfax and Harding Counties. The area is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Sauz Creek and Salado Creek, which cut through the terrain to the south and west. Evidence of early infrastructure is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade that traverses the northern half of the sheet, marking a legacy of former transport routes through this corner of New Mexico. In the northeast, the Johnson Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region. To the southwest, the topography drops into the Cañon Biscante, while localized industrial activity is noted at the Gravel Pits and a solitary Well near the lake, reflecting a landscape centered on ranching and resource extraction.
