2017 Map of Dog Lake

About this map

Mescalero Ridge serves as the defining topographic feature in this corner of Lea County, marking a distinct elevation change across the high plains. The landscape is characterized by intermittent water bodies such as Dog Lake and White Lake, which reflect the arid environment's unique drainage patterns. This 2017 survey shows a network of local roads and paths, including Mescalero Rd and Tomahawk, which cut through the various sections of the Public Land Survey System. The infrastructure is primarily composed of these named routes and energy-sector corridors, illustrating the balance between the natural limestone ridge formations and modern land management in southeastern New Mexico.
