1985 Map of Indian Flats

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Indian Flats dominates this mid-1980s landscape in Eddy County, where the desert terrain is defined by dry watercourses and industrial infrastructure. The map illustrates a transitional environment where natural features like Sand Point and the elevations of Quahada Ridge meet late-century resource extraction and water management. Of particular interest to local historians is the Abandoned Canal winding through the western portion, a relic of earlier irrigation efforts in this arid region. The presence of a Pumping Sta, an Aqueduct, and several Gravel Pits reflects the area's development around utility and construction materials. Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly marked by Fenton Draw and Old Indian Draw, providing insight into the hydraulic history and land use of this section of the New Mexico desert.
