1953 Map of Basin Well

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The boundary between Chaves Co and Eddy Co cuts through this high desert plateau, where the local economy in the early 1950s was defined by ranching and the nascent oil industry. Significant water management features are mapped across the landscape, including the Lake (Salt) and a series of livestock tanks such as Sink Hole Tank and Double Wells Tank. The reliance on underground aquifers is evidenced by the Windmill Salt Well and the isolated High Lonesome Windmill.
