1985 Map of Henshaw Tank

About this map

The boundary between Chaves Co and Eddy Co cuts across this high desert landscape, which in the late 1970s was defined by a sophisticated water management and industrial network. An extensive Underground Aqueduct snakes through the terrain, supported by facilities like a Pumping Sta and Pump Sta, illustrating the region's reliance on piped water for ranching and industry. Isolated water sources such as Henshaw Tank and Bogle Tank serve as vital landmarks in an area otherwise marked by dispersed Gravel Pits. The map reveals the infrastructure of a working landscape where resource extraction and water transport are the primary drivers of human activity.
