1967 Map of Denton Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Denton Camp and the Denton L 7 Ranch sit within a high-desert landscape defined by precarious water management in the late 1960s. This survey illustrates the specialized infrastructure of Chaves County ranching, where survival depends on a network of named catchment basins like Circle Y Tank, Sixmile Tank, and Weak Wells Tank. The map reveals the vital role of wind-driven power across the plains, marking numerous landmarks such as the Denton Windmills, Beatonbough Windmill, and Apache Windmill. One of the most distinctive features is the expanse of Shifting Sand, which moves across the terrain south of the ranching hubs. An industrial Pipeline and a sparse Jeep Trail network provide the primary transit and utility corridors through this arid region, where even small features like Salt Cedar Lake serve as critical navigational markers.
