About this map

Elephant Butte Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande pool north of the dam. The map details the complex geography of the shoreline, from the constricted passage at The Narrows to prominent landmarks like North Monticello Point and Three Sisters Point. Evidence of ranching and land use is visible throughout the arid canyons, including Elkins Ranch and the Chavez Windmill near Alamosa Creek.
