1962 Map of Bitter Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the Pecos River meanders through a network of wetlands and alkali flats. The 1962 topography, updated in the mid-1970s, reveals a complex water management system including the Hagerman Canal, Garrod Dam, and a Salt Water Conversion Plant near the banks of the Rio Hondo. This infrastructure supports an arid region defined by both natural hydrology and industrial utility.
