1981 Map of Camaleon Draw East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Camaleon Draw defines the drainage of this high-altitude landscape in central New Mexico, where life is centered on sparse but essential water sources. This 1981 survey reveals a complex network of ranching infrastructure, where named water features like Telephone Lake and Mojonera Lake anchor the territory. The map is a study in survival across county lines, showing where Torrance Co, Guadalupe Co, and Lincoln Co converge at the south-central border. Local history is etched into the terrain through specific, family-named or utilitarian sites such as Rivera Well and Old Five Wire Well. This area, just north of the Base Line, features numerous small reservoirs known as tanks, including Casino Tank, Sotol Tank, and Burro Tank, which are critical for livestock and wildlife in this arid environment.
