1963 Map of Hat Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hat Mesa and the surrounding high plains of Eddy and Lea counties define this landscape of resource extraction and ranching infrastructure during the mid-20th century. The terrain is characterized by broad depressions and ridges, including the extensive San Simon Swale and the prominent Antelope Ridge, which dictate the placement of water sources like Dagger Lake and Bell Lake. These catchment points were vital for the livestock operations at the Brinninstool Ranch and various named tanks such as Lost Tank and the School Section Tanks.
