1978 Map of Laguna Del Perro South

About this map

Laguna Del Perro (Salt) dominates this high-desert basin in Torrance County, appearing as a series of ephemeral alkali lakes and flats marked simply as Salt. This 1978 survey, based on 1973 aerial photography, reveals a landscape defined by its specialized transport and resource exploration. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal line across the northern terrain, providing a vital connection through this arid region. The topography is largely defined by depressions and basins, with the elevation rising toward Rattlesnake Hill on the eastern edge. Scattered markers such as a Drill Hole suggest geologic or mineral exploration in a territory where water is scarce and the ground is seasonally transformed by mineral deposits.
