1967 Map of Deep Well

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Water management dominates this arid New Mexico landscape, where a sophisticated network of tanks, wells, and pipelines supported ranching operations during the late 1960s. Deep Well and the Shearing Shed Well indicate the functional infrastructure required for livestock in Chaves County, while family-named landmarks like Will Johnson Tank, Joes Tank, and Bill Parks Tank suggest the long-term human presence in this region. The terrain is defined by natural drainage systems including China Draw and Rosy Draw, which feed into various catchment areas like South Lake and Browns Lake. The survey also documents modern utility development, notably a Pipeline that cuts through the southwestern area near Pipeline Tank, illustrating the technological layering of resources and transit across the High Plains landscape.
