USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Carlsbad Caverns National Park dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the subterranean wonders of the Guadalupe Mountains meet the high desert floor. The map illustrates a transitional geography between the dramatic Cueva Escarpment and the agricultural river valleys to the east. The Pecos River serves as the primary lifeblood for the region, supporting settlements such as Carlsbad, Loving, and Malaga through a network of canals and reservoirs like Avalon Lake.
