About this map

Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge serves as the focal point of this 1950 survey, where the arid New Mexico landscape meets a complex system of hydrology and conservation. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Pecos River and its associated alkali flats, including Bitter Lake and Lake St Francis. This area reveals a transition from natural river meanders to managed water resources, evidenced by numerous Gaging Stations, the Hondo Canal, and Garrod Dam.
