1973 Map of Mescalero Point NE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Mescalero Ridge and the dramatic escarpment of The Caprock dominate this high plains landscape on the border of Chaves and Lea counties. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a remote industrial and ranching environment defined by a network of Jeep Trails and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the arid terrain. Natural drainage features like Polecat Canyon contrast with man-made water sources such as Cottonwood Tank and Pecan Tank, which were essential for sustaining life and livestock in this portion of the Llano Estacado.
