1981 Map of Little Black Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Malpais dominates this arid landscape, where ancient volcanic flows create a sharp contrast against the surrounding high desert terrain. Centered on the cinder cone of Little Black Peak, the map documents a rugged environment where water management is the primary marker of human presence. Dozens of isolated tanks and windmills, such as Billy Bob Tank, Ashbey Tank, and the Malpais Windmill, provide essential water sources for cattle across this expanse of lava beds and canyons.
