1955 Map of Nations East Well

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Nations East Well serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in El Paso County, where survival and movement were defined by sparse water sources. The 1955 survey illustrates a terrain dominated by strategic watering points and ranching infrastructure, such as the prominent Joint Well to the north. These isolated wells and tanks, including Tiger Tank and Corral Tank, suggest a reliance on catchments and groundwater for livestock and travel across the high desert floor. Long stretches of Fence lines cut across the topography, marking property boundaries or grazing sectors in an area otherwise devoid of major settlements or established roads. Near the southeastern corner, the concentration of water at San Juan Tank and East Tank indicates localized activity centers within this vast, open environment.
