1984 Map of Laguna Gatuna
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Laguna Gatuna and its neighboring salt lakes dominate this arid basin on the boundary between Lea and Eddy Counties in southeastern New Mexico. In the mid-1980s, the landscape was defined by an extensive network of resource extraction, with a dense grid of drill holes, oil wells, and gas wells marking the development of the local Oil Field and Gas Field. The map reveals the infrastructure required to support this industry, including an intricate web of pipelines and aqueducts cutting across the desert floor.
