About this map

Elephant Butte Lake dominates this New Mexico landscape, shown here as it transitioned through various updates between the early 1960s and 1980. The reservoir, part of Elephant Butte State Park, is flanked by dramatic geological features such as the White Cliffs and the rugged Black Bluffs along the eastern shore. The western side of the lake reveals the drainage of Alamosa Creek and the presence of ranching infrastructure like the Chavez Windmill and Elkins Ranch.
