1943 Map of Clayton Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The industrial and ranching landscape of the Clayton Basin is defined by its potash production and isolated water sources in the years following the Great Depression. The Potash Co of America Mine stands as a significant landmark in the southwestern portion of the sheet, connected to the wider world via the Santa Fe Railroad (Oil City). This arid region in Eddy Co and Lea Co relies on scattered wells and ephemeral lakes like Walters Lake and Hackberry Lake for livestock and industrial use.
