1951 Map of Diamond Mound

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Merritt Ranch and its solitary windmill sit on the edge of Derrick Draw, representing the sparse human footprint in this corner of New Mexico during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring a series of salt lakes and seasonal basins such as Flat Lake (Salt), Nakee Ishee Lake (Salt), and Crow Flat Lake. These features, along with names like Jahie Lake (Salt) and Henderson Lake, suggest a reliance on these scattered water sources in a terrain primarily used for open-range ranching.
