1978 Map of Holt Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Holt and Bullis sit within a high desert landscape marked by a complex system of drainage channels and ranching infrastructure during the late 1970s. The border between Chaves Co and Eddy Co cuts through the northern section of the sheet, where the terrain is dominated by various seasonal washes including Fourmile Draw and Walnut Draw. The map reveals the vital importance of water management in this arid region of New Mexico, evidenced by numerous man-made features such as Holt Tank, New Tank, and various unnamed tanks and wells. Industry is represented by a Gravel Pit near New Tank, while a long-distance Pipeline traverses the landscape from the southwest toward the northeast. The intricate network of named draws, such as Catclaw Draw and Gardner Draw, highlights how the natural geography dictated the placement of early ranching outposts and infrastructure.
