1968 Map of Big Sinks

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Big Sinks characterizes this section of Eddy County, where the topography is defined by the depressions and drainage patterns of the high desert. Ranching infrastructure is the primary mark of human activity, represented by isolated landmarks like Twin Wells Ranch and a network of water features including Poker Tank, Jo Bar Tank, and Hurston Tank. These water sources, essential for livestock in an arid climate, are often paired with namesake landmarks such as Engles Windmill and Keyhole Windmill.
