1950 Map of Bottomless Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Bottomless Lakes State Park anchors this 1950 survey, showcasing a rare series of sinkhole lakes east of the Pecos River. These deep natural formations, including Mirror Lake, Inkwell Lake, and Lea Lake, were formed by the dissolution of gypsum and salt deposits by underground water, creating a stark contrast to the surrounding arid landscape. The map details the local recreational infrastructure of the era, such as the Fin and Feather Club and various springs that fed these unique water bodies.
