About this map

Arid drainage patterns and isolated water sources characterize this high-country New Mexico landscape during the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a series of significant washes and arroyos, including Reventon Draw and Arroyo del Macho, which cut across the high plains. While the map is dominated by these seasonal watercourses, permanent water features and industrial markers provide critical points of reference for local geography. Horse Lake and Box Lake appear as distinct landmarks in a region where water management is vital, supported by subsurface exploration such as the 7-11 Well and a labeled Drill Hole. This 1:24,000 scale survey, field-checked by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1975, preserves the precise placement of ranching-era fence lines and section corners across Lincoln County, documenting a sparsely settled ranching landscape where infrastructure is limited to basic roads and essential watering holes like Lavade Draw.
