About this map

Elephant Butte Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape of Sierra County, where the impounded waters of the Rio Grande stretch through canyon terrain. This photorevised 1980 survey shows the vast shoreline of Elephant Butte Lake State Park and the distinct geography of The Narrows and White Cliffs. On the western shore, the drainage of Alamosa Creek meets the lake near Elkins Ranch, providing a rare glimpse into the ranching footprints along the water's edge.
