1955 Map of Lake Mc Millan North

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lake Mc Millan dominates the southern reaches of this mid-century survey, fed by a complex network of channels and draws. The Pecos River is depicted in a state of hydrological transition, featuring a West Channel, a Old Channel, and the artificial Kaiser Channel. This engineering of the river corridor is contrasted by the dry bed of Kaiser Lake and the prominence of Chalk Bluff to the northeast. Settlement is sparse, focused on the community of Lakewood near the southwestern shore and the Lewis Ranch inland. The A T & S F railroad skirts the western edge of the valley, providing a critical transport link through this arid landscape. Numerous windmills, oil tanks, and a Gaging Sta reflect the region's reliance on both water management and emerging mineral extraction. The map also traces significant drainage systems like Rio Peñasco and Fourmile Draw, which define the topography of the surrounding basin.
