1967 Map of Devils Well

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Fort Stanton Fort Sumner Trail cuts across this high plains landscape of De Baca County, marking a route of significant historical movement through eastern New Mexico. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals an environment defined by its water management, where named improvements like Baker Well, Buffalo Tank, and Devils Well supported cattle ranching across the arid terrain. The landscape is deeply incised by drainages such as Burro Draw and Dead Canyon, which lead toward the Arroyo de la mora. Subterranean features also define the area, with Diamond Cave and Owl Cave noted near the southern reaches. The presence of the Triple Eagle Pit and various gravel pits suggests localized mineral extraction, while a small Roadside Park provides one of the few concessions to travelers in this sparsely populated region of the Llano Estacado margin.
