1972 Map of Blaines Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Cimarron Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, providing a high vantage point over a terrain defined by seasonal drainage patterns and sparse water sources. The meandering course of Agua Fria Creek cuts through the center of the sheet, eventually leading toward the namesake Blaines Lake in the southeast corner. This 1970s survey captures a moment in Catron County's history where the environment remained largely undeveloped, characterized by isolated landmarks such as Cajon Well and Cottonwood Canyon. The map reveals the intersection of natural topography with early infrastructure, including a lone Gravel Pit and the established Base Line surveyed at the boundary of Township 1 North and Township 1 South. This document serves as a precise record of the high-desert hydrology and land divisions before modern changes altered the local character.
