1981 Map of Golondrina Well

About this map

The desert landscape of Lincoln County in the early 1980s reveals a sophisticated water and fuel infrastructure necessary for ranching and industry. A prominent Aqueduct and series of Pipelines traverse the terrain, connecting essential water sources like Golondrina Well and Hasperos Well. The map highlights the intersection of transportation and utility, featuring a Landing Strip and the Corona Pumping Sta positioned near the convergence of Little Hasperos Canyon and Hasperos Canyon. These features, along with named catchments like Dead Mexican Tank and Pipeline Tank, illustrate the reliance on groundwater and managed runoff in this arid region of New Mexico. Small-scale industrial traces also appear, including a Gravel Pit and the Dabble Mills site, suggesting a history of local resource extraction and processing.
