1978 Map of Curlew Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The small settlement of Boaz and its nearby Boaz Cem anchor the northwestern portion of this high plains landscape in eastern New Mexico. The area is defined by a sparse but essential network of water sources, from natural depressions like Salt Lake and Curlew Lake to numerous man-made structures including Keggy Well, McDowell Tank, and Robertson Wells. These features indicate a terrain heavily reliant on managed water for livestock and industry. Transportation and resource extraction dominate the southern and northern sectors, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cutting across the corner near a Roadside Park. Farther south, the Mountain Railroad serves the industrial needs of the Cato Oil Field, where numerous drill holes and gravel pits suggest a landscape actively shaped by petroleum exploration and infrastructure.
