1954 Map of Carlsbad

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Sacramento Mountains and Guadalupe Mountains dominate this mid-century view of southeastern New Mexico, where the high desert meets a network of managed water systems. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the timbered slopes of the Lincoln National Forest and the irrigated corridor of the Pecos River. Along the river, vital reservoirs like Lake McMillan and Lake Avalon support a string of settlements from Artesia down to Carlsbad and Loving.
