About this map

The Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of Chaves County, protecting a vital riparian corridor where the desert floor meets the waters of the Pecos River. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the landscape is defined by the contrast between the arid Dunnahoo Hills and a complex network of seasonal and permanent water bodies, including Big Lake, Skull Lake, and the curiously named Ink Pots.
