2020 Map of Bassett Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Bassett Lake serves as a primary landmark in this arid borderland where Otero County, New Mexico, meets Hudspeth County, Texas. This 2020 survey illustrates the vital importance of water management in the Chihuahuan Desert, as evidenced by a network of engineered catchments like Whittaker Tank, Mixen Tank, and Camaleche Tanks. The landscape is etched with local ranch and service roads, including Co RD f001 and Co RD f005, which navigate the township and range divisions of t25s r11e and t26s r11e. The state line New Mexico Texas bisects the lower portion of the sheet, defining a remote region where survival and ranching operations are tied directly to the geography of named tanks like Charley Tank and Key Tank.
