2013 Map of Foster Well
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Jornada del Muerto defines the vast, arid character of this 2013 survey in Socorro County. The landscape is marked by the infrastructure of high-desert ranching and modern military boundaries, showing isolated water sources like Bole Russell Tank, Lewis Tank, and the eponymous Foster Well in the northeastern corner. The presence of the Arrieta Ranch suggests the enduring agricultural use of this desert basin, even as it interfaces with the specialized transit corridors of WSMR P Route 7 and WSMR P Route 20. This document provides a clear view of the water-dependent settlement patterns necessary to survive in one of New Mexico's most famously challenging environments during the early 21st century.
