1985 Map of Magdalena Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Magdalena Gap defines the high-relief northwest corner of this Dona Ana County landscape, where the terrain falls away into a broad, arid basin dominated by drainage systems and livestock infrastructure. In this 1985 survey, the economy of the land is visible through a scattered network of water catchment features, such as Georgie Tank, Blackburn Tank, and Coldiron Tank. These tanks, along with ephemeral waterways like Mason Draw and Candler Draw, illustrate the vital management of water in the New Mexico desert.
