1978 Map of Laguna Del Perro North

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Laguna Del Perro dominates this arid landscape in Torrance County, where a chain of ephemeral salt pans stretches across the basin floor. This 1978 survey captures the high-desert terrain during a period of steady industrial transit, defined by the prominent diagonal path of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The line cuts directly through the lake bed area, reflecting the historic importance of this corridor for transcontinental freight. Beyond the rails and white lake beds, signs of subterranean exploration appear in the form of a Drill Hole, suggesting mineral or geological surveying efforts in this sparsely populated region of New Mexico. The map provides a detailed view of the natural depressions and drainage patterns that characterize the Estancia Basin's unique hydrology.
