2023 Map of Bottomless Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this Chaves County landscape, defined by a chain of unique sinkhole lakes east of the riverbank. This geological corridor includes several prominent water bodies such as Lea Lake, Cottonwood Lake, and Figure Eight Lake, which form a cluster of deep natural basins along Bottomless Lakes Rd. The terrain transition is marked by the steep bluffs of Comanche Draw to the north and the expansive agricultural irrigation works of the Hagerman Canal to the west. Roads like Tg-Cattleco Rd and Park Svc Rd provide access through the arid ranching country, while the intricate contours around Dimmitt Lake reveal the collapsed topography that gives this region its distinctive character. This map documents the persistent water features and rural infrastructure in a landscape where desert ranching meets unique aquatic ecosystems.
