1962 Map of Melena

About this map

The Pecos River valley and the high desert terrain of Chaves County define this landscape, recorded during a period of significant updates in the early 1960s and late 1970s. The Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge occupies much of the central and eastern portions of the sheet, preserving a complex of wetlands including the Ink Pots, Lowe Lake, and Skull Lake. These water sources contrast sharply with the surrounding arid features like Garcia Flat and the Ballard Hill uplands.
