2023 Map of Bitter Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern landscape of this survey, protecting a complex wetland system where the Pecos River and Rio Hondo converge. This arid Chaves County basin is characterized by alkaline lakes and sinkholes, including Bitter Lake, Lake Saint Francis, and the Chain Lakes to the south. The transition from the rugged wetlands to the western plains is marked by the suburban edges of Roswell, where residential expansion meets the historical watercourses of Berrendo Creek and Middle Berrendo Creek. Local history is anchored by the Saint Marys Cem and Memory Lawn Memorial Park Cem, while the rugged terrain at Comanche Hill provides a distinct overlook of the river valley. The map also traces a network of rural routes and trails, such as the Salt Lick Trl and Outlaw Trl, reflecting the area's ranching and recreational heritage.
