1972 Map of Lake Armijo

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Largo Creek and Nations Draw define the drainage of this high-altitude landscape in Catron County during the early 1970s. The region is characterized by a sparse network of water sources essential for ranching and survival, including the Salt Evaporator and the distinctively named Lazy K Slash Well. The presence of Eagle Peak provides a clear landmark over the terrain, which transitions from the seasonal waters of Lake Armijo to the south toward the higher elevations of the north. This survey illustrates a reliance on developed water points like Old Rito Well, Finch Well, and Tapia Well, reflecting a history of land use focused on livestock and intermittent water management. The scattered placement of Eagle Tank and various wells across the basin highlights the importance of reliable water access in this arid part of New Mexico.
